[topicmapmail] stupid question?

| In my opinion, the topic maps that are/will be used in real projects
| will simply be too big for an XSLT processor to handle, as they
| still require the construction of a DOM tree [1].
 
Unless you use a persistent DOM storage, of course. That would solve
the memory problem, but would be highly unlikely to perform at all
well. 

| [1] I read somewhere that there are beginning developments of
| SAX-like XSLT processors, but I can't recall where that was.

I don't think that's very likely to happen. Michael Kay has tried
several times to do something like this with SAXON, but eventually
concluded that it wasn't worth the bother.
