So the problem is... Saxon is disk based, and databases don't have
their own XSLT 2.0 processor... so how do we bridge that gap to allow
transforms to call XQuery functions that operate on the database?
How would an XQuery vendor make an XSLT extension function available,
or more likely how can Saxon work against a database?

How far apart are Saxon's and eXist's interfaces?
