Are you making Saxon use your DOM for the transformation? Or do you pass 
some kind of Source for Saxon to convert to its internal DOM structure?

I have some memory hog transformations, but I am not sure they are the 
cases for which you are designing. For example we have some projects 
that output websites as multiple pages, output entire sections (folders) 
as one page and also output one large page containing all content (i.e. 
a print friendly version of employee benefits handbook).

The large, one large page version uses the document function to bring in 
multiple content pieces. This means *all* content is brought into memory 
for the transform. What would help me is if I could discard content 
piece DOMs after they are transformed. Does this make sense? Does 
Momento handle something like this?

Also this is using XSL 1.0 - don't know if you are looking for XSL 2.0 
transforms.

best,
-Rob
