Maybe another approach that might help with this is to develop a
comprehensive set of test cases that could empirically determine 
what types of optimizations a processor provides. If these test 
cases became well known as benchmarks for XSLT processors, in 
the long run the developers of XSL processors would build in 
the optimizations required. That should go a long way to having 
predicatable performance across processors. Of course, doing such 
a thing would require considerable discussion and effort.
