Re: Is XSL suitable for batch processing?

["Rick Geimer" <Rick.Geimer@xxxxxxx>]

XSLT (in it's current state) won't scale for documents this size. It
seems to be geared towards small, transaction oriented XML, rather than
large real world documents. You will probably have to use a stream based
approach like SAX or OmniMark.
