I have a "gut feeling" that if I understand _why_ an XSLT document can be executed in parallel then it will help me write better XSLT documents. 2. I am trying to shift from an imperative mindset to a declarative mindset. I have always written XSLT in terms of sequential, step-by-step processing. The declarative mindset invites me to break out of that way of thinking, into a more parallel mode of thinking. I want to stop doing FORTRAN in XSLT. Understanding how things can be done in parallel will help me ... I think. /Roger
