With streaming there is in principle no limit to the size of document you can
handle.

There are of course likely to be practical limits, for example the Saxon
implementation limits the value of position() to a 32-bit integer; but the
particular limit of available heap memory is removed entirely by XSLT
streaming.

(And yes. there are of course other XML streaming technologies also
available.)
