Watch that an XSLT transform can read (or try to read) any
file on your system and can open arbitrary http (and often ftp)
connections on arbitrary ports.

If the document falls out of scope then both XSLT 1 and 2 allow
an implementation to discard it.  I don't think we'll see a
procedural way to discard a document otherwise, except as
part of something like the XQuery update facility perhaps.
