Would you limit the content of these too? This would make streaming-implementations slightly more complicated yes :) Thank you both for pointing out this issue. I guess for many (if not most) formats, limiting the content of predicates would be feasible, and this would also speed up the xpath processing. Creating a streaming-like ITS processor that could handle "most documents" in a more efficient manner could perhaps be a useful alternative to a memory-intensive processor that can handle all documents... cheers, asgeir
