Sure, that's not the issue though... the problem is:

- you run a query across gigabytes of XML and some nodes are returned

- you want to process those nodes with XSLT, using something like
<xsl:for-each-group>

- currently those nodes would be serialized into a document, which is
then parsed and given to the XSLT processor

...so the goal is for XSLT to work directly on the result of a query,
or even on the database itself using collection() and XPath

I'd like to be able to do both, but we'll have to see...

I'd also like it if eXist would "execute" xslt files that are
navigated to like it currently does for xquery files (using a suitable
default initial template name like "main")
