I don't follow you. Mike wasn't suggesting that we abandoned
xsl:result-document, but just the approach that treats it as a serialization
directive (rather than, for example, a first-class document-node
constructor). I don't see how this has anything to do with the
maintainability of stylesheets... Am I missing something? That's always
possible :-)
