Wendell,
Is there a lot of overhead in invoking the transform process multiple
times? say I wanted to do it 10, >>20 or 60 times?
Not if you do it right. On the ground, of course, the answer depends on how
you're running the >transforms to begin with.
1) what do you mean by 'if you do it right'? are there any guidelines
related to this?
2) running transformations in multiple stages is obviously doable, and for
me its almost necessary. but I'm wondering, what scale of
stage-multiplicity is reasonable w/ xsl? - ie 5 transforms, 20, 60, 1000?
(incidentally, I hope I'm reading my situation right as almost necessitating
multiplicity. my problem is that I want to construct a tree and be able to
use the collection devices of xpath on it, eg child::, count(), etc.. my
understanding is that this feature is not in xsl 1.0 but it will be in 2.0 -
is this right?)
abie
