The term "compilation" is open to many meanings. The XSLTC engine
(originally from Sun) compiles XSLT down to Java bytecode. Other processors
such as Saxon compile to some intermediate representation which is then
interpreted. The question here is not so much what counts as compilation,
but whether the compiled representation can be saved to disk.
