I don't think there is an offical term for this. This is outside the
scope of the pipeline. The pipeline just "leaks" a bunch of output XML
documents - and that is as far as the XProc spec reaches, IMHO. How the
implementation deals with these documents is entirely implementation
dependendent: it may store them as files; it may put them in a database;
it may stream them; it may discard them; it may post-process them; it
may...
