Re: Chunking xml into single-topic docs

It's best to mention if you want a XSLT2 solution (as you do). XSLT2 is
still in draft form and most people wil assume XSLt1 when replying
unless they happen to notice a few XSLT2 constructs in your code.

Before thinking about the xslt you hav eto decide what you want to do
about that, possibilities are

1) use the whole title (and live with spaces in file names)
2) use the whole title but convert spaces to _ or somethinmg else
3) use the first word but append a number product, Product2, Profuct2,
   etc if it's not the first occurrence...

what you actually appear to be douing is normalising teh white space,
then converting all spaces to _ and teh taking teh string before _ or /
as the file name.

It would be possible (using keys, most likely) to discover whether any
other nodes would produce the same filename from that procedure and so
add a number as suggested in (3) above but there are much simpler ways
of generating a unique name (eg either of (1) or (2) above, if you know
your titles are unique), or just using or appending the reult of
generate-id() which will generate a unique string for each node.
But generate-id isn't suitable if you want the file names to be humanly
readable or the same each time you process your input file.

if you just want to append a number as in (3) something like

count(preceding-sibling::OneHead[starts-with(.,$title3)])

might be the number you need (if i understood your code well enough)
