OK, good, we're talking about XML *Web* pages. For a scary minute there, I 
thought you meant *print* pages. :)

This should be pretty straightforward, but challenging, to do. Basically 
it's an extension of the "How do I do [X] for every N nodes?" problem, 
which you should find many examples of in the list archives and the XSL 
FAQ. There's one additional problem here, which is that you evidently want 
to produce multiple result trees from a given source tree, but you can get 
around that using extension functions provided with some XSLT engines.

But:

Very important information, and thank you for including it!

What you need to do before anything else is: STOP using that namespace. 
It's no longer valid for either XSLT or XSL proper (<- the formatting 
objects spec, if that's what you mean to refer to). It implies that you're 
using an outdated (nearly two-years-outdated) version of MSIE, which no one 
-- neither Microsoft nor anyone on XSL-List, I think, wants to think about 
anymore. The version of XSL which it implemented was current at the time 
but has since moved way beyond that point. It was exciting to be able to 
use it in 1998 and early '99, but you'll learn very little useful if you 
keep using it. My two cents.
