taxon2newick.xsl: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document #1

This question is more an xsltproc question than a taxon2newick question, but I'm hoping you might have a ready answer. The XML document returned by efetch is actually multiple concatenated XML documents, each with 100 entries. This causes xsltproc to complain. I could hack it up with a sed script, but I'm hoping that you have a more elegant solution.

❯❯❯ esearch -db taxonomy -query 'Primates[Subtree] ' |efetch -format xml >mammalia.xml
❯❯❯ xsltproc taxon2newick.xsl mammalia.xml
