The reason is that if you only get the chance to see each node of the input once, you need to be able to remember what you've seen, so you need a capability for updatable working storage. This isn't needed in XSLT's processing model, where the output is described as a function of the input. Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
