Produce one large file and then split it into 2500 files with 
trivial perl script.  Ah, again , for some reason ( religion? ) 
you want to do everything in "plain XSLT" ( but still using the 
hack which is not in XSLT standard ;-). 

I give up. I simply don't understand what are you doing 
and why are you doing that.

I have no stock and I'm not participating in any  gambling.
Gotta know the estimate for XSLT 1.1 ? I think at that point 
of time we could be using some different XSLT engines ;-)

I'm of course also not using it ( XT has no such beast ), but 
sometimes I miss it. For example writing grep in SAXON 
is trivial because of this feature. Grep in Ux  ( XT ) was very 
much hacking ( generate the stylesheet and execute it
on the fly )  ... But as a result - Ux's grep it is more portable 
than if it will be written with saxon:evaluate  ;-)
