[xsl] XSLT Streaming Terminology: why is it called "striding"?

2014-02-09 04:38:48
Hi Folks,

A striding construct is one that returns a sequence of items and the items are 
all disjoint (item i is not nested in item j).

Why are such constructs called "striding"? Would you please give some intuition 
on why such constructs are called striding?

Also, why is striding important? I think that striding constructs are important 
because:

        The sequence of items returned by a striding 
        construct can be operated on in a streaming 
        fashion.

Is that correct?
