RE: Any work on an xproc implementation in XSLT?

> Any work on an xproc implementation in XSLT?

For a couple of years now I'd had it in the back of my mind to do just
such a thing, or at least those parts that were relevant to what I was
doing. I have previously implemented a pipeline processor in XSLT for a
rather specific purpose but I'm always keen to go the way of the
standards.

Not that I know of, though Jim Fuller is doing one in XQuery which is a
related exercise.
