Re: Templates.newTransformer synchronization

Sorry, I didn't see your previous answer.
Please ignore this.
Thanks.

Michael,
Is the term XSLT compiler (which is commonly used for tools such as
XSLTC, Gregor/XSLT, XSLJIT, etc) also applicable to Saxon. I mean, is
the API functionality of parsing (probably building a parse tree or
something similar for later use) which is provided in XSLTC, is also
available for other JAXP implementations such as Saxon?

Thanks.
