What I really meant was that in supplying a StreamSource as the input to a transformation, you expect the state of the underlying InputStream to change. Are you suggesting that the processor should mark() the current position of the underlying InputStream at the time it is supplied, and reset() that position on completion? What if markSupported() for the InputStream is false? Even then, there seem to be other things in the contract that have been left unspecified, for example I think the processor can reasonably expect that no-one else will be reading bytes off the InputStream at the same time...
