Since temporary trees (result tree fragments) have this generalized
structure, and can be used as both input and output of processing, there's
no real problem with this, other than the question of how you construct such
an initial tree as input to the processor - which is really something that
has to be left to the implementor.

I think you'll find that the JAXP capability to pipeline the output of one
transformation into the input of another means that this is already feasible
with some XSLT 1.0 implementations.
