How to call a template that can generate a file name f

First a little back ground.? What I am trying to do is
create and XSL transform that can create an HTML view
of and XML file.? I need to create multiple HTML files
so I can create a frame based navigation / content
page (the inspiration is Java Doc - with left hand
navigation frames and right hand content frame).?
Below I have a simplified sample xml and a stripped
down xslt file to show my problem.
?
I have some XSLT sheets that generate content and now
I am trying to create a style sheet that will create
the XXXindex.html file that will hold the navigation
and content frames.? One thing I am going to need is
to generate a file name given an element (so I can
create <a href="XXXcontent.html"> nodes for
navigation.? At the moment I am just going to use the
name of the element for the file name but I know
eventually I will need to change this to handle some
combination of an element's id and name (exactly how
is yet to be determined).? I wrote the template (see
below) using @name to construct the file name as a
test.? This created the HTML I wanted.??Next I tried
to refactor to?encapsulate the file name generation so
I can change what parts of an element are used to
generate file names in one place.? But I cannot seem
to figure out how to pass an element to the template.

The simplified xml file and a stripped down xslt file
(sorry it is still quite long) show my problem.  I am
creating the file name like this right now:
  <xsl:variable name="rootName" select="@name"/>
  <redirect:write select="concat($outputDir, $fileSep,
$rootName, '_index', '.html')">

But I want to use the template named
createBaseFrameFileName so that I can change from
concat (...@name, ...) to concat (..., @name, @id,
...) or what ever in the future.  What I am getting
from the message "The value of generateName is: " is
25 new line's not the name of the element.
?
Any help / advice would be appreciated.
?
Thanks,
