The contents of the resulting documents look great. It is the resulting file names that are loopy. Here are the names of two of my resulting files:

It seems that I have this variable line in the wrong place:

<xsl:variable name="stateName" select="current-group()/@state"/>

Not in the wrong place. As long as it's in scope it is fine. But what you want is not all @state attributes in the current group's root (i.e., all <State_Standard..> elements), but only one. You can do that with current-grouping-key() or if you need another attribute:

current-group()[1]/@state

Am I trying to do too much inside this one template?

That depends on how you look at it. The processor doesn't care of course. Personally I think you should split it up and use apply-templates a bit more. But with grouping that can get a bit tricky.

Do I need two templates?

"need" is in the eye of the beholder... it doesn't really matter here if don't mind big code chunks ;)

HTH,

PS: there's some other place where you do about the same trick, you apparently need current-group()[1] there too.
