My TEI XSL stylesheets at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rahtz/tei/ support
chunking under XT, Saxon, and Xalan. I'll add Oracle when they release
the next version which supports it. Do any other XSLT processors do
it?

I work in a laborious, but fail-safe way (I hope), with fallbacks:

<xt:document method="html" href="{concat($ident,'.html')}">       
  <xsl:call-template name="the-divout"/>
  <xsl:fallback>
    <saxon:output  method="html" file="{concat($ident,'.html')}">
    <xsl:call-template name="the-divout"/>
      <xsl:fallback>
         <xalan:write file="{concat($ident,'.html')}"> 
             <xsl:call-template name="the-divout"/>
           <xsl:fallback>
             <xsl:call-template name="the-divout"/>             
          </xsl:fallback>            
         </xalan:write>             
      </xsl:fallback>
    </saxon:output>
  </xsl:fallback>
 </xt:document>
