about creating multiple output files last week and couldn't get the 2.0
solution to work, so I'm using version 1.1 with saxon 6.5.x so please give a
solution that will work with that.  Here's the structure of my data:

You couldn't get <xsl:result-document> to work in 2.0 so you decided
to use 1.1??  That's madness :)

<xsl:for-each-group select="item" group-by="substring(id, 1, 4)">

Then use current-group() to access the elements in the group, and
current-grouping-key() to access the value used to group them
together.

Shorter, concise questions tend to get more answers as the person
answering the question doesn't have to invest too much time in reading
and understanding the problem.
