Subject: RE: XML to HTML using XSL (over SAX} From: Kay Michael <Michael.Kay@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 18:16:51 -0000 |
XSLT intrinsically requires a tree model of the entire document to be accessible, so it's not well suited to serial processing. The Saxon product started by implementing a subset of XSLT that could be handled serially (hence the name - a layer on top of SAX) but the limitations gradually become too severe and this side of things was abandoned (though there is a residual feature called "saxon:preview" that enables the document to be processed in bite-sized chunks). The subject of serial transformations does come up from time to time, my feeling is it can't be done with a pure subset of XSLT as it is today: the inability to navigate around the document means you need much richer capability to remember what you've seen as it came past.
