It's complaining about a context item expression (.) not about xsl:iterate, so
I can't see how you come to that (false) conclusion.
It would help if we could see what's in the elided "...", since that's probably
where the trouble is.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to stream-process this web site which emits a continuous stream
of XML:
http://xmpp.wordpress.com:8008/firehose.xml?type=text/plain
Ergo, I use xsl:stream like so:
<xsl:stream
href="http://xmpp.wordpress.com:8008/firehose.xml?type=text/plain";>
...
</xsl:stream>
The XML that the web site delivers consists of an infinitely long sequence of
Atom <entry> elements. I want to iterate through them and keep a running
count. Ergo, I embed xsl:iterate inside xsl:stream like so:
<xsl:stream
href="http://xmpp.wordpress.com:8008/firehose.xml?type=text/plain";>
<xsl:iterate select="stream/atom:entry ">
<xsl:param name="count" select="1" as="xs:integer"/>
...
</xsl:iterate>
</xsl:stream>
However, that results in Saxon throwing this error:
The body of the xsl:stream instruction is not guaranteed streamable
according to W3C rules
* Context item expression (.) in a navigational context is free-ranging
I conclude that xsl:iterate cannot be used in stream-processing. Correct?
