Okay, interesting comments coming from you. So I don't doubt that it is sound advice. All I am doing in my pipeline is XML to XML transformations on a hierarchy of collections. It is just that at one point in that process I may want the output to go to two locations. To do this outside of XSLT I will have to generate a different file that contains the published file list and then copy the files - introducing unhelpful latencies and potential points of failure.


Surely the mere fact that results-document exists in XSLT suggests some elementary file processing may be required.

With respect,
Steven
