If you are just wanting to transform XML to an HTML file, I don't think you 
want your output file to be a COM Compound File (structured-storage).  This 
is a special kind of file that can contain sub-files and sub-streams, etc. 
See the MS documentation on StgCreateDoc() at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/stg/stg/stgcreatedocfile.asp

You are probably just trying to find a way to create a normal file and get 
back an IStream interface to it.  If that is the case, check out 
SHCreateStreamOnFile():

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/shlwapi/version/shcreatestreamonfile.as
p

Note, however, that you have to have shlwapi.dll version 5.0 or later (came 
with Internet Explorer 5.0 or later).
