How robust do you think this particular pipeline implementation is? E.g. (as I'm not intimately familiar with libxslt), if the transformation URIs do not resolve to documents whose root element is in the http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform namespace -- or even worse, do not resolve to XML documents -- what are the failure modes? http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec says ($Date: 2005/03/25 23:03:14 $) "Transformation algorithms should be represented in XSLT... Other representations may be used by prior agreement of all concerned parties." so implementations have to expect that random bags of octets might be found at those transformation URIs.
