The rule in the spec is that a principal result document is written if either
(a) there is no secondary result document, or (b) the raw result of the initial
template is a non-empty sequence. My guess would be that in your case the raw
result contains some whitespace text nodes.
I usually avoid the problem by sending the principal output to dummy.xml and
ignoring it: that's easier than worrying about where the pesky text nodes are
coming from.

I build one of my websites (www.cpslib.org) using a Windows batch file that
has 45 distinct steps (I have never learned XProc and am 77 years old so
maybe never will). Even though I am using <xsl:result-document> in the style
sheet, the characters
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
appear at stdout. The document itself is written to file as specified in
result-document.
I have greatly simplified the batch file, XML document, and the stylesheet,
but the stdout output still appears when I run the batch file. I have several
other stylesheets in the batch file that use result-document. Some exhibit
this behavior, some do not.
I am unsure if this is an artifact of Saxon 97, the batch file process ,or my
code. Any help?
