Splitting xml message using XSLT

Question

Hi,
I have XML message that I want to split up using XSLT. Following is the structure of the XML message.
<Meters>
<Meter>
<ID>1</ID>
<Type>A</Type>
<Reading ref="1A" />
</Meter>
<Meter>
<ID>2</ID>
<Type>A</Type>
<Reading ref="2A" />
</Meter>
<Meter>
<ID>3</ID>
<Type>B</Type>
<Reading ref="3B" />
</Meter>
<Reading>
<refLink>1A</refLink>
<quantity>Watts</quantity>
<value>221.00</value>
</Reading>
<Reading>
<refLink>2A</refLink>
<quantity>Wh d</quantity>
<value>0.00</value>
</Reading>
<Reading>
<refLink>3B</refLink>
<quantity>Wh r</quantity>
<value>3.00</value>
</Reading>
</Meters>
The split up should happen on the <Meter> tag. Currently, this message has three <Meter> elements. The output should result in 3 different XML messages each having its own <Meter> element. Also, please note that each <Meter> has <Reading> which is linked to the actual <Reading> data using "ref" attribute and "refLink". The value of "ref" attribute will be unique through out the XML message.
Expected output: 1.xml
<Meters>
<Meter>
<ID>1</ID>
<Type>A</Type>
<Reading ref="1A" />
</Meter>
<Reading>
<refLink>1A</refLink>
<quantity>Watts</quantity>
<value>221.00</value>
</Reading>
</Meters>
and similarly 2 more XMLs.
Please let me know if anyone has done this kind of work in XSLT.

You are right I see that xsl:document is in 1.1 recommendation, but was referred by
XSLT books I have.
I found one site that's explaining this
http://www.vbxml.com/xsl/elmxsl_document.asp
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt11/#multiple-output
I am almost trying now to reverting to using java.util.regex and doing the split
brutforce.. :))))
