As far as I know IE doesn't support streaming input, just streaming
output. In other words, they don't start the transform or display
anything until the whole XML resource has been downloaded. But they do
start displaying the result document while the transformation is still
in progress.

Or am I wrong and they are actually cool enough to support streaming input?
