What difference does it make? A Java implementation will not necessarily
be streaming:  Probotron4J for example is Java but not streaming.

Streaming has never been a design requirement for Schematron. There are a
couple of libraries that allow XPath rewriting of reverse axes, and these
could indeed allow streaming implementation.

However, someone could have made a streaming implementation long ago with
the STAX library, if they had wanted to. But no-one has in the last 10
years, to my knowledge, so I have no evidence that a streaming
implementation is something that anyone actually wants.
