Hi, Have you looked at the STX samples? From what I understand, STX could be what you're looking for. It's a streaming transformation which tries its best to only load the required parts of a document into memory.
I don't think it's as fully functional as Xalan / XSLT, but might do the job for you. The implementation cocoon uses is Joost: http://joost.sourceforge.net/ Take a look :) If you get a chance to try it out, do let us know - I'd love to see examples from people using it for heavy documents, as I'd like to try it myself at some point.

I'll be looking for a way to extract chapters of large books in a less expensive fashion. An XML database may be one way of doing this; I am a bit reluctant about using XIndice, though, as having simple XML files is quite attractive, as opposed to having a database in which updates become more difficult. Ok, we'll live and see.
