Maybe I'm entirely mistaken, but isn't the premise behind Cocoon 2 (for
example) that you can use streaming-ish things like SAX and not have to
build document trees for your source?

I understand that you would have to build trees for your result output,
due to aggregating functions such as <xsl:for-each> and so forth, but you
should just be able to accumulate the output result as the input "stream"
comes in.

The only thing I might really be confused by is whether there is an
intended meaning to the word "stream" which I'm missing.
