Or modes.

Where you'd call the function you have:

<xsl:variable name="this" as="document-node()"
select="namespace:function($params)"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="write-file" select="$this"/>

and somewhere else you've got:

<xsl:template mode="write-file" match="/">
    <xsl:result-document....
        <xsl:sequence select="."/>
    </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

You can stack modes on the main writing template if they turn out to all
be the same, or mostly the same, so you only need as many file-writing
templates as you've actually got cases. Apply-templates takes parameters
if you need to pass things to the "commit result-document" template from
where the function gets called.
