Subject: RE: [xsl] is XSLT 2.0 implementable? (was: N : M transformation) From: Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2003 14:45:02 -0500 |
That's very hard to do. There are good reasons why XSLT is defined in terms of a transformation of one data model instance to another, leaving a great deal of flexibility as to how (and whether) the data model instance is derived from some source XML document. If we said that the input had to be source XML, then we could define exactly what happened to it, but I don't think we want to do that, and the net result is that you (and therefore your chosen vendor) can do anything you like to the document before the XSLT transformation starts.
