Exactly!

Not to speak about the excellent possibility for multithreading in the
XSLT processing model (trivial to add and implement without
synchronization primitives), and raising events from such threads to
other threads.

This is so not-XSLT-ish at present, but this only means there is a
huge space for growing the XSLT processing model.
