Thanks. I was looking at an old draft of XSLT (1999) which didn't have that 
element. However, I'm still not sure how to use it.

Which function does the actual writing of these sub-documents? And what 
happens if the stylesheet tries to place them in directories that do not 
exist, will those then be created? I'm asking because the document names and 
directories they are places in should in my case be derived from the input data.

Enno.
