Subject: Re: [xsl] Nicer way to change context-node than xsl:for-each ? From: Dimitre Novatchev <dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 07:12:09 -0800 |
To make it clear: push is when the nodes determine what templates will be selected for processing -- not when just the order of processing is not guaranteed. When we know what template will be selected for processing, then we have pull processing.
