Don't know the stream-wrappers, but from what I can see it doesn't do 
what we need. We want to be called by XSLT (with args etc) when XSLT 
meets registered elements&NS. So if you want a stylesheet with side 
effects, say that search in a database, just chaning the stream of XML 
doesn't help. XSLT must be in control - must have processed the args to 
the handler A stream approach is "separate" pass. Again, I may have 
misunderstood something, so we'd really like to know if it can be 
achived already..
