Michael:

I know Saxon is yours, and also that you have contributed significantly
to the standards.  Why does Saxon has so many useful features whereas
the standard has shortcomings in key areas?

P.S. Honored to get to chat with you online after reading your book.

IOW, can an XSLT processor generate and XSLT file and then launch 
another transform recursively?

Not without use of processor extensions, such as

saxon:compile-stylesheet()
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/compile-style
shee
t.html

and saxon:transform()
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensions/functions/transform.htm
l

But of course you can also do it from other languages such as Java, or a
pipeline processing language.
