I'm asking about invoking XSLT transformations from DOM environments, not 
invoking DOM from XSL-T stylesheet/XPath extension functions or something in 
that direction.

I'm asking about that from for example an ECMAScript in a browser invoke a 
stylesheet on an DOM tree, because that's what appears to me to be what users 
are doing, with the ECMASript APIs in for example Mozilla/IE.

I might of course be very confused here, and an explanation/untangling is 
welcome.
