Subject: RE:  Expected behavior for parsed source containing xsl?

We have been working on implementing parsed source in an xslt engine

I'm sorry, I haven't the faintest idea what this means. Could you
explain more carefully what you are trying to do?

parsedSource ps = transformEngine.getParsedSource( xmlInputStream );
...
transformEngine.transform( ps, xslInputStream1, resultOutputStream1 );
...
transformEngine.transform( ps, xslInputStream2, resultOutputStream2 );
...
transformEngine.transform( ps, xslInputStream2, resultOutputStream3 );

 and have run into a question about what to do when parsing an xml
 source that contains xsl instructions.

(By 'contains' I'm including both embedded xsl and PI referenced xsl.)

 Is it expected that the resulting parsed source tree contains the xsl
 as a subtree or should the resulting parsed source tree be the
 transformed result of the contained xsl?

 I can see arguments for both sides but I'm leaning toward the tree
 containing an xsl subtree at this point. Is there any discussion or
 documentation on this issue anywhere on the web?

 Thanks,
 John Mostrom

 p.s. I'm subscribed to the digest so if you could cc: me on the
 discussion, it would be great!
