Basename is the name of the directory, in this case 'doc-out'.
Topname is just the name of the top file without directory, in this
case 'foo'. If no topname is specified, it would default to 'index'.

Yes. In foo.sgml specify basename name as 'same dir' and topname as
'foo', and in bar.sgml specify the same basename and topname as 'bar'.
One only needs to look out for name clashes between the various
chapters of both documents, but that's just a matter of using a unique
prefix in each document in the 'id=""'s of the chapters. Then there's
only the problem with the footnote.html files which currently are
named as such. I think this all calls for a 'prefix' PI indicating
the prefix to be used for the names of the various .html files. This
also has the advantage of not having to put this prefix in all the
'id=""'s of the chapters.

Note that we need one PI per format to indicate the respective extension.

I agree it's easier to test the mechanism that way.
