I don't see how it would give that impression. How is that different from 
uncompiled stylesheets? I would never assume that a stylesheet brought in via 
xsl:include or import would contain no includes/imports of its own.
<xsl:include href="stylesheet-with-many-includes-and-imports.xsl"/>

It would not be usable in XSLT 1.0 because top-level elements cannot be 
extensions, and as I mentioned already, a 1.0 processor could not be expected 
to conditionally ignore xsl:include/import instructions.

If this was never intended to be an XSLT 1.0 processor compatible extension, 
then I offer my apologies and will bow out of the discussion.
