In fact, unless you have a multi-processor computer it doesn't really help
to parallelize the XSLT constructs. However, in the case of using the
"document()" function, this is tremendously useful. What I would like to get
is an XSLT processor that would fetch - in parallel - all the external
documents (i.e. get all the external documents referred by the document
function). Since, network latency is the major roadblock here, to process -
in parallel - the document fetching and transformation into infosets
operations would definitively increase the performance. I made several
experiments in Didier's lab and even shared these experiments with this
list's members. To process a document fetching in parallel, it suffice - for
the XSLT processor - to notice at parse time (of the XSLT document) all the
"document()" functions and to start fetching the documents in separate
How is that supposed to work - ok if the argument to document is a string,
but suppose it's a variable reference or attribute reference?
