That parameter is only used by the chunking stylesheet.
The non-chunking stylesheet (is there a better name
for that concept?) has no concept of an output filename,
but instead writes to standard output, which
the XSL processor redirects with its -output option.
Using the chunk stylesheet just to get the filename
probably will have side effects (like generating other
chunks).
How about a simple shell or perl script controlling
xsltproc?
