I am using Saxon 9.06 -
Question - I am using keys to provide cross referencing for

in memory?
An index is constructed for a given document the first time the key()
function is used to search that document. The index will be held in memory
so long as both the compiled stylesheet and the document tree are in memory.
In jaxp terms, is the compiled stylesheet the (javax.xml.transform.)
Templates or the Transformer object?
And for the document tree, that would exist just for the duration of the
transformation, right?

In the case of collection(), if you don't use saxon:discard-document(), the
document tree is held in memory until the end of the transformation. In
fact, if I remember correctly, saxon:discard-document() has no effect if
there are indexes for the document in memory [but I need to check that].
