AW: [xsl] Incremental DOM->DOM XSLT processor?

["Nestel, Frank" <frank.nestel@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

Sounds like an interesting thing to have, at least in
some cases. The first step to program such a beast
would be to describe a set of XSLT stylesheets and
problems where such a behaviour is useful. 

1. In general the output of a stylesheet can be very 
different from the input. 

2. If you think of performance, starting with a full size 
DOM to represent the XML might have allready been the 
first step in the wrong direction...

Though I'm only an occasional reader of Xalan and 
Saxon source, I'd expect this not to be only a minor 
fix to any existing stylesheet processor. May the
gurus prove me wrong.

Frank
