Simple question: How can you append to an existing file?
That is not possible in a single transform. One way to do it in XSLT is to do two transformations:

1. Transform into separate temp files
2. Concatenate the temp files that need concatenation (with unparsed-text() for instance)


but the second step is just as easily done with any pipe command in DOS or Linux command prompt, i.e., in DOS you can do:

type temp1.xml >> final.xml
type temp2.xml >> final.xml
type temp3.xml >> final.xml
