How is this possible? What if your transformation is lossy or adds 
things?-- How do you know what to roundtrip?

Can you have multiple content pieces on a page? How do you know where 
content pieces are as opposed to page structure?

I think it is very wrong to have an XML editor edit an instance document 
based on the result of transforming that instance document. Or perhaps 
roundtripping rules needs to be setup for each transformation??? Or 
perhaps the transformations have to be done in a certain way??
