Assuming I have a master.xsl utility that matches / and contains my header and footer and in the middle calls

<div id="content">
<xsl:apply-templates/>     
</div>

...so that my individual page templates can take over the styling of the main content, how do you all conditionally include specialized CSS files?

I obviously want my CSS link to be in the <head> section, but by the time my individual page template is called, the head section has already completed.

I could put conditional statements in the master.xsl utility, but I am concerned it would become quite polluted with one-off conditionals that really shouldn't be handled outside of their individual templates.

Am I missing some feature of XSLT that would allow me to add a CSS link to the head section after the fact, or is there some other clean way to handle this problem?

Thanks for reading.
