uff... I can't resist. I open my legs to ridicule: A few things: 1. There is no need to have any source XML document. http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#initiating 2. There is no need to "get to your destination". You may be producing results non-stop all the time and they may be used by consumers (say in a pipeline) as soon as a new result appears. Here by "result" it is good to mean anyone of the possibly unlimited number of final result trees that the XSLT 2.0 Recommendation allows a transformation to produce (for example using <xsl:result-document ... /> instructions) http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#element-result-document 3. A good tail-recursive implementation can guarantee that "unlimited-stack-depth" recursion will be performed naturally without any problems such as "stack overflow" 4. It is not an absolute requirement for such a transformation to access an "infinite data structure" although if necessary such access can be implemeted using a "on-demand", or a "partially produced" one using a lazy evaluation approach. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play
