I have an xml file which is a list of xml file locations.
Can I use XSL to import elements from each of these files?

i think you can.
in xsl, use the document() xpath function. consider this xml:
<documents>
<document>
</document>
<document>
</document>
<document>
</document>
</documents>
to retrieve values from these documents, say the node "element", do this with xsl:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="documents">
<xsl:value-of select="document(text())/element"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
hope that helps
