I would never justify inability to think with progress in hardware. Algorithms that require twice as much memory, or that copy (slightly transformed) trees several times in memory are examples of this in XSLT. Producing (or at least striving to find) algorithms that require several times less resources vs ignoring resourse limitations -- this will at any time make practical the solution of a considerably larger class of problems.
