this seems contradictory to me. if you do not supply an output file,
XT writes to standard output. if you want *all* the output going to
stdout anyway, how does the multiple document extension in XT help?
why not just stream through your output streams one after another? if
each one is confined within
 <file name="foo">
 ...
 </file>

and the whole within
 <files>
  ...
 </files>

then surely you can manage the result just as you wish?
