You are using XSLT version 2.0 which so far is not a recommendation (a 
standard) but a work in progress.
Most XSLT processors currently available support only XSLT 1.0, the few 
that support some version of XSLT 2.0 are based on some working draft of 
XSLT 2.0.

I guess you need XSLT version 2.0 as you want to create several result 
documents with one stylesheet which is not supported in XSLT 1.0.

I think Cocoon is a framework implemented in Java so it probably allows 
to use an XSLT processor implemented in Java that follows the JAXP API.

Saxon 8 from <http://saxon.sourceforge.net/> is a Java implementation of 
XSLT 2.0 so it is probably possible to use that processsor in Cocoon but 
doing that is then not so much an XSLT task but a task of configuring 
Cocoon to use Saxon instead of the XSLT processor it uses currently.

Finding someone with that expertise in the Microsoft XSL group is not 
likely as most people here are more likely to use MSXML or .NET for XSL 
tasks. So you should look into the Cocoon documentation first whether it 
explains to configure it to use some other XSLT processor or ask on a 
Cocoon group or mailing list if you don't find a solution.

Another approach is finding out which XSLT processor your current Cocoon 
setup uses and to check its documentation whether it supports any 
extension for XSLT 1.0 allowing to create several output files. Again 
finding help with that task in this group is not likely.
