Hi Bryan, Michael, and Colin,
I just noticed this thread. Colin, the point is that you would be able
to run an XSLT stylesheet across thousands of documents at once, without
requiring that they be loaded into memory. The whole TransQuery idea was
that XSLT be used as a query language.

That sounds like a fascinating rumor, Michael. Which company? :-)

I don't see what XQuery has to do with the ability to run directly
against an XML database - any XSLT implementation should be able to do
this, with an appropriate URI.
