multi-output serialiser for offline use cases
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: MDA-76
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/MDA-76
             Project: Metadata Aggregator
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: DOM Metadata
    Affects Versions: 0.7
            Reporter: Ian Young
            Assignee: Ian Young


The standard serialiser writes the output to a single file.  For some use cases such as off-line signature of individual entities rather than or in addition to an aggregate, it would be useful to have a multi-output serialiser, where each Item is serialised to a different file.

I'd suggest that the stage require a strategy property which derives the File to write to from the Item's metadata.  In particular, the use case where we sign individual entity metadata documents so that they can be fetched by a web service by entity ID would be well served by a strategy function which created the file name as a hash of the entity's entityID.
