You can also use the exslt file:write() function to write it out, which
does not have that limitation.

in XSLT 4 as proposed, you can put all templates for a given mode
inside the xsl:mode element (although i am not sure you can enforce
that, unfortunately, but it would be relatively easy to check
automatically that you had done this)

The first joint XQuery and XSL meeting i went to as W3C staff contact
for XQuery was in Renton by the way.
