I'm afraid the above description does not give me a very concrete idea what
exactly these devices do. How exactly do these chips process XML data
streams? Do they optimize pattern matching for XSLT, or do they associate
business logic with structures, or generate SAX events from a stream, or
provide hardware support for the DOM, or what?
In general, what kinds of XML processing are good candidates for special
purpose hardware support?
