Re: create multiple documents
It seems to me that the times that multiple file output is most useful
compared to re-running the stylesheet is when you don't know in advance
how many files you are going to generate.
Typical examples include "chunking" a document at section boundaries
where it is much more natural to process the whole document with
multiple-file output rather than figure out in advance how many times to
call the stylesheet.
or

where saxon's generated 800 odd files in a single pass by walking over
a deeply structured tree of classifications descriptions. (And despite
an earlier comment in this thread this is not done dynamically in a
server it's done the "old fashioned" way as a batch process, and takes
several minutes each time)
