Interesting question, John,
At 10:06 PM 3/18/2007, you wrote: This may be a weird question, but what do you see in your mind's eye when you imagine an XSL transformation happening? I don't think I visualize anything, but when I was learning I certainly visualized the XPath tree. I even had dreams in which I climbed in and among the branches of the source tree, locating what I was looking for. I have also sometimes thought that some day some genius chemist will implement XSLT as some kind of weird recombinant enzyme process. You would fill a test tube with a solution in which all your templates would be suspended (probably many times each), add a potion containing source document enzymes, and shake. Parsing, "compiling" and serializing for such a processor would take significantly longer than processing the transform itself. And of course, it would all be too tiny to see.
