Yes.

Yes.

1. There must be a one-to-one mapping of input documents to output documents.

2. There are no facilities for algorithmic transformations of attributes or element content.

3. There are no facilities for adding "grouping" nodes (e.g. changing
 <H2></H2><P></P><P></P><H2></H2><P></P><P></P> to
 <S2><H2></H2><P></P><P></P></S2><S2><H2></H2><P></P><P></P></S2>
