Re: xml too big

I can think of two ways to give you an approximation of "too big".  At the
level of the content, use string-length(string(.)) to get the number of text
characters that will occur. If it exceeds a certain threshhold (which you'll
have to determine via trial and error), then you can use XSLT to only
retrieve a portion of the contents through the use of predicate tests. You
could also do a count of elements directly (count(.//*) to get an idea about
how many nodes are involved.
