Because I want to integrate this ultimately with the eXist XML DB, which tends to be oriented around XQuery. Since I really have no experience with XQuery, I thought I'd try to start with a commandline version using Saxon, before trying to worry about the additional complexity of Cocoon.

To put it differently, the flat file version would be sort of demo/starting point; not the end-goal.
