Ah! my xml sample was just a small part of the document. So you used
avee as the root node and anything processed after that will be
written to the result-document. So I would move the
<xsl:result-document> up to the highest level element that I want the
output to be generated.
I think I follow you now, I was in the weeds of my bigger document.
thanks, great help as always!

No ... not all. You build the result tree under
<xsl:result-document> that is targeted for that
file. <xsl:result-document> just starts the building of a new
result tree and you build it just like you build the default result
tree when not using that instruction.
I hadn't found any complex examples in my searches, but was hoping
it would work like what you describe.
It does work like I describe, but I don't think you see how I'm describing it:
<xsl:template match="avee">
<xsl:result-document href="DMC-{modelic}-{sdc}-{chapnum}-....
<xsl:apply-templates select="..."/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="whatever">
... some stuff that goes into that result document...
</xsl:template>
The <xsl:apply-templates/> above will end up building nodes under
<xsl:result-document/> even if that building is done from other
templates. You mustn't copy the <xsl:result-document> into the
other templates.
Once you finish building the tree and you process something after
the <xsl:result-document> instruction, the tree is done with and the
file is written (though likely it was being written along the way).
BTW, you can nest the instructions in order to create a separate
file on the side while you are in the middle of creating another
file. You just cannot re-open an <xsl:result-document/> file and add to it.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
