Re: The XSL-List Digest V2 #497

Michael,

I hadn't thought of using SAX events as input, principally because I'm
not all too familiar with SAX.  It sounds like a good idea, but John
Cowan's tool (for generating a stream of SAX events from a DOM) is in
alpha, and I am reluctant to involve an alpha tool (especially one with
which I have little familiarity) in a production project.  I'll try to
spend some time with it, though.  I appreciate the input.
