Suppose I have

  <xsl:for-each select="item">
    <xsl:variable name="uri" select="concat('dir/', name, '.xml')"/>
    <exsl:document method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"
href="{$uri}">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
    </exsl:document>
  </xsl:for-each>

What I really want is some way of writing out each exsl:document as a
seperate file using a filename based on $uri. Is such a thing possible?

Thanks.
