That's not exactly what he says - Mike words himself very carefully most of the time. If you want to run XSLT on the result of a query you can use fn:transform() to do that from within XQuery, and you can write the result with file:write(), yes. Using xsl:resut-document from XSLT won't write anything out in that situation but will put the results into a map that your XQuery expression can save to a file. You could also use an XProc pipeline, of course. But it depends on your situation and needs.
