It provides an a couple utilities over SAX and DOM that allow you to only build DOM fragments for the subtrees of the Document you'll actually be transforming against. It currently has a simple facility that reads the XSLT template for matches and keys to build a list of elements, it then passes matched sax events onto a DOMBuilder to build a DOM fragment, this DOM fragment can then can be transformed against using the same XSLT.

The problem with this approach in the general case is that there are many occasions when there is an expectation for a node to match a built-in template: the absence of a template to match a given node is not sufficient warrant for removing that node.

It sounds like a pretty cool idea for situations where this is checked against, however. (If I understand correctly.)

Yes, 100% correct, its still a custom approach where you have to know alot about the structure of the xml content and in the end the templates have to be very "fragment" specific because the ancestor path information above the DOM is not available from within the Transform. So all tranformational rules need to be local to the fragment your working in. But, this really good for things like efficient editing/adding/removing nodes from a SAX stream via XSLT. I have an idea to grab something like JXPath and make it process a limited set of XPath functionality in establishing the rules for which SAX Events to DOM.
