Re: [xsl] Compacting with xmllint

The question of whether a file is too big to transform depends on the tree 
size, not the lexical XML size. Presumably --format is only changing 
whitespace, and a decent processor will compress whitespace, or remove it 
entirely if you specify xsl:strip-space.

I'm sure most are familiar with the --format option on xmllint to get more 
readable XML. I've also found it useful for compacting a large file. A file 
of mine that was 92MB pre-compacting comes out at 86MB after. This could be 
very handy for files like mine that are bordering on being too big to 
transform.
