BTW In what configurations doesn't the solution work?
D-o-e can only work if the result tree is serialized and reparsed. Support for d-o-e is actually part of the XML serializer, not the transformation engine (which just marks the nodes).
D-o-e wont work for most XML processing pipelines as provided by Cocoon or the FOP CLI, because there SAX events are used.
It is a pity that serialization is so tighly intermingled with transformation in the minds of so many people, even though the XSLT spec did reasonably good in separating the issues.
It would be interesting to see the set of XML standards a bit rearranged: + Data representation - logical data model (sort of infoset) - file format, including the canonical representations of syntactic elements and namespace syntax - in-memory data models (DOM, SAX) - more alternative XML representations as necessary + General purpose processing - parsing, parser processing model, parser configuration, parser APIs - serialization, processing model, serializer configuration, serializer APIs - aggregation / physical structure (xinclude), processing model, processor configuration and APIs - schema descriptions (DTD etc.) - validation, processing model, processor configuration and APIs - transformation, processing model, processor configuration and APIs - transparent embedding of encrypted, compressed, digitally signed or otherwise mangled XML data, processing model for expanding/decrypting/validating signatures etc., processor configuration and APIs + standardized vocabularies for general use (FO, SVG, XHTML,...), preferably also with a processing model, processor configuration and APIs The way currently various standards are arranged and depend on each other appears to be grown (like cancer) rather than designed. Well, flammable topic...
