An alternative occurs to me, which is to have a mechanism for getting the output of one component into another component's parameter. I think this has been suggested before; it corresponds to the unix shell's backquote syntax. Then we could have a "temporary file" component that consumes an XML file and outputs (wrapped in a trivial document) a generated URI in which it has stored it. In the XSLT import example, this would be connected to a parameter of the stylesheet. This solves the synchronisation problem as well, if the temporary file component did not output the name until it had stored the document. -- Richard
