Generally, the XSLT 3.0 Specification talks about "initial match selection":
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#dt-initial-match-selection
and it seems that you need something similar.
However I don't know how Saxon implements this -- from the command-line or
via its API.
Also, piping to me implies *streaming*. I don't remember seeing any
discussion in the spec whether or not the initial match selection can be
streamed.
Definitely, the best person to provide the needed information is Dr.
Michael Kay.

Hello,
according to http://www.exselt.net/features/new-in-xslt-30/
“Any sequence of any type can be the input for the transformation, not
just a document.”
I haven't found a clear statement of that in the norm, but I'd like to use
this feature (using Saxon, so if the solution is specific, we can switch to
the Saxon mailing list).
My use case is to read text lines from the output of another program using
a pipe (GNU/linux):
someProg | xsltProcessor x.xsl
where the output of someProg is
line1
line2
…
(I know how to do that using a parameter, or a file)
How can I access such a sequence from a stylesheet?
