A good example of how to do this is in the DocBook SGML for the
Cable-Modem HOWTO :

(http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/docbook/Cable-Modem.sgml.gz)

	<sect1 id="ethernet">
	...
	<sect1 id="isps">
	...
	<sect1 id="hybrid">
	...

In the DSSSL stylesheet, we have these 2 settings:

	(define %html-ext%
	 ;; force a .html file extension
	  ".html")

	(define %use-id-as-filename%
 	 ;; Use ID attributes as name for component HTML files?
	  #t)

Which produces these files:

	$ ls Cable-Modem
	ethernet.html  hybrid.html  index.html  isps.html
