RE: Help using the xsl:result-document instruction

I had the redirect working but I was thinking, incorrectly, as Michael aptly
noted, that Xalan was XSLT 2.0. But I thought it was a 2.0 processor and
thought the result-document instruction should work, and hence my post.

I am in the process of updating all my scripts from xalan to use saxonb8.3,
since, I have control over which processor to use. So far I'm very impressed
with Saxon. The distributed documentation seems complete and easy to
understand. My test xsl:result-document script worked fine using it. Great job
Saxonica!

There are, ofcourse, extensions to do that, like

	xmlns:redirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"

with

 <redirect:write file="anotherfile.xml">
