The focus in XSLT 3.0 is on streaming large XML documents, however the need for streaming large text files has not been overlooked. Two of the features that were added to make this easier for implementations to achieve are (a) the unparsed-text-lines() function. The WG considered that most use cases for processing large text files started by breaking it into lines, and that it was easier for implementation to achieve this if there was an explicit function to read the file as a sequence of lines. (b) the ability to do xsl:for-each-group starting-with and ending-with with patterns that match strings rather than nodes There's no explicit way of saying that you want text input streamed; the WG felt that given the above constructs, implementations would be able stream the input without further guidance from the user.
