The answer is - it depends.
One way would be to pass the environment variables in to your
processor via command line parameters/arguments. Another way would be
to roll your own document processor using something like libxml or
libxslt (
www.libxml.org) that would have have specific knowledge of
which elements/attributes are actually enviromental variables and use
getenv() to retrieve the value.
