I tried something like that, but the problem is that the processor will
have to be applied each time to the new files "from outside", unless you
are within a framework that allows XSLT chaining, like AxKit or Cocoon. 

What I would like is something like this

Initial XML document -> Initial XSLT -> XML doc 1 -> XSLT(2)
->....->XSLT(2)->Final XML doc -> Final XSLT

That is, make an XSLT generate initial content from an XML spec, make it
throug several iterations using the same XSLT, until a "final" XML
document (that could be recognized using a counter, or whatever), which
would be applied a final XSLT. Right now, I can achieve just one step
using saxon this way:

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" saxon:next-in-chain='an.xsl'/> 

But what I would like to is to make that "output" variable, making
saxon:next-in-chain a different file, possibly each time, and method
"html" in the final stage.

In this case, what this proprietary extension does is to chain XSLT
transformations. I don't know if there's an equivalent non-proprietary
way of doing it.

Thanks in any case for all answers received!
