You might like to look at the SQL extension elements in Saxon: a very simple
"demo" facility, but with a little energy it could be turned into something
very useful for loading XML data into relational databases.

Yes. Most XSLT processors will accept input from any SAX parser, so all you
need is to write an implementation of the SAX parser interface to supply the
data.
