    So, more generally, "static transformations" means that each time 
new data is available it is transformed into the output format ready to 
be sent to the clients.

    Yes. There is one particularity in this case: the output format is 
XML and not XHTML as one would expect. This is weird because it is most 
likely that mobiles and handheld devices do not understand XML.

    After reading your answer I started to better understand the 
question. I always assumed that the result of a static transformation is 
(X)HTML which is of course wrong: the output can be XML, (X)HTML or any 
other UNICODE text.
