RE: [xsl] chunking a very large xml document

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

In XSLT 2.0 this is:

<xsl:template match="product">
<products>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</products>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="record">
  <file name="{@id}.xml"/>
  <xsl:result-document href="{@id}.xml">
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

If you're using an XSLT 1.0 processor, then xsl:result-document won't be
available, and you'll have to use the custom extension that comes with your
chosen product, which will vary from one product to another.
