RE: [xsl] SAXON: Generate 10 elements per page

This will need two phases of transformation, but you don't need two
stylesheets, you can write the intermediate results to a temporary tree.

The questions you are asking are not specific to Saxon: they are basic
XSLT coding questions. Could I ask you please to use the xsl-list at
mulberrytech for such questions - thanks.
