Now that I know that <map:call> (thanks Tom) in 2.1.1 will return (it's a gosub now, not a goto), that solves the problem very nicely. All I need to do is to create a resource for each branch that I want to execute and then do as many <map:call>s in a row as I need. The sub pipes (resources) can also be set up to return status information on whether they succeeded or not, so that can be used to control whether to stop the main pipeline in the even of an error. It would also be possible to make each sub pipe acts as an identity transform, then it becomes easy to create a pipeline that takes a single input document and creates 4 different outputs from it (each output would be stored into a database in my case). Though I'm not sure that it wouldn't be easier for the subpipe to just use it's own generator to get the original starting document. Awesome! Thanks for all the help from everyone....
