Re: [xsl] [XSLT Streaming] Are xsl:for-each and xsl:iterate equivalent?

One other difference:
  xsl:for-each can leverage xsl:sort. xsl:iterate can not.

Faithfully,

To my way of thinking, streaming means that we start at the top and 
sequentially make our way through the document (or break out if desired). Given 
that, it seems like when doing streaming Best Practice is to use xsl:iterate 
and not use xsl:for-each. Do you agree?

If there are no parameters passed from one iteration of the loop to the next, 
and if there is no break-out, then the two constructs are semantically 
equivalent and there is no strong reason to prefer one over the other.
