  | A compelling use case for employing binary trees in XML processing?                                                                 |

Hi Folks,

Dimitre has created a beautiful set of functions for building binary trees
[1].

I understand that binary trees can be used to sort data. But XSLT already
has <xsl:sort>, so using binary trees for sorting isn't a particularly
compelling use case.

I am seeking a compelling use case for binary trees -- given XML document
foo.xml and processing requirement P, a binary tree is ideally suited.

Would you provide a simple, compelling use case please?

/Roger
