Re: question on EXSLT data partitioning

Fisrt sorry for my english, litlle out of practice

Second, for this data volume , it would be nice to use key, isn't it ?
You cannot use a variable for modulo but that accelerate processing

<xsl:key name="part" match="Entity" use="(position() - (position() mod 1000))
div 1000 ">
[...]
<xsl:for-each select="Entity[position()  mod 1000 = 0]">
      <arguments>
        <xsl:apply-templates select ="key('part',position() div 1000) ">
</arguments>
    </xsl:for-each>

[...]

I can't test (and make always error with modulo and other...) but that's the
scheme
