You can't set the target for your output from within
an input document or XSL stylesheet unless you resort
to extensions functions (which are implemented in 
saxon, xt and xalan, AFAIK).

In Saxon, for instance, you might have:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0"
                xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"
                extension-element-prefixes="saxon"
                exclude-result-prefixes="saxon">

<xsl:template match="image">
  <saxon:output file="{@name}.{@extension}"
                method="text">
    <xsl:value-of select="." />
  </saxon:output>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This code will obviously look different for the other
processors.
