Don't be too quick to deprecate document()!
Did my draft suggest that? Are you saying that pointing out the problems
associated with using the document() function in a Cocoon environment (e.g. caching)
which may discourage use of the document() function "in effect"
suggests "deprecation"?
Also, don't forget, the document() function is also inefficient because of
Xalan bugs. I guess we could advise the use of Saxon if users choose to continue
their use of the document() function -- for whatever reason.
And I forgot to mention other potential (future) approaches: XpathDirectoryGenerator (2.1 scratchpad),
Forrest's Libre, etc. Are there others? I remember a thread (Speed up DirectoryGenerator)
with Stefan/Steven/Marc on this subject, but it's not clear to me if Stefan's recent work impacts
this FAQ.
Thanks for your input.
