In that case, you can simply not have the bogus output document opened in
the editor. You manually open whatever result documents you generate and
leave them open. Rerunning the transform updates those docs on the file
system and Oxygen will either automatically refresh them or ask you if you
want to refresh them, depending your auto-refresh settings.

Having said that, I agree that it would be handy to be able to specify the
name of the result file to open separate from the nominal output file, so
that when a transform does use result-document and you can predict what the
name of the result will be, Oxygen will open it automatically. I think
there's a general case of transforms that take an "output document" XSLT
parameter or some other parameter that determines the names of the result
documents.

Cheers,

Eliot
