Hm, I don't know if that's the right question, Norm. Seems to me that it boils
down to whether XSL is a server-side style-sheet language (a la Jade, or
rather, like Jade can be used), or a client-side one. If the latter, which I
believe is how the current submission approaches it, the chunking should be
done at the server-side, but that brings up the issue of how the style sheet is
then supposed to traverse the tree when all it has is a bit of a chunk to work
on. As you say, it's an interesting problem.
