My understanding is that those are XPath expressions. An XProc implementation can recognize a subset of XPath and use its own streaming implementation for those. For the other XPath expressions that don't fit in the subset the implement will use an off-the-shelf XPath library. The implementation will want to choose that subset wisely so "most of the cases" fall in that subset. And it seems to me that this applies not only to the viewport, but also to any other construct that uses a 'select'. Alex -- Blog (XML, Web apps, Open Source): http://www.orbeon.com/blog/
