What's the significance of naming the result "result"? (I don't see it
referenced anywhere else in the pipeline.)

|     <p:processor name="xpl:xslt">
|         <p:input name="data" infosetref="#document-1"/>
|         <p:input name="stylesheet" infosetref="strip-ids.xsl"/>
|         <p:output name="data" infoset="stripped-1"/>
|     </p:processor>

|     <p:processor name="xpl:xslt">

|         <p:output name="data" infoset="stripped-2"/>
|     </p:processor>

|     <p:processor name="my:diff">
|         <p:input name="doc1" infosetref="#stripped-1"/>
|         <p:input name="doc2" infosetref="#stripped-2"/>

| The syntax is straightforward, but feel free to ask questions. Note

Indeed. What about the case where I want to pass the parameter
"chunk-on-sections" with the value "1" to the XSLT processor?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
