Re: XSLT processing model in Mozilla

The way we do it for transformations done using
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xslt" ...?> is as follows:

We parse the source document normally into a DOM, however during this 
parsing script execution is turned off for the source document.

Simultaneously we load the stylesheet and parse it into an internal 
compiled format (not a DOM).

Once both the source document and stylesheet is done loading we execute 
the stylesheet.

Executing the stylesheet builds DOM nodes which once the execution is 
done is displayed instead of the source document.

Hope that helps.
