Interesting point. I initially assumed it would be faster to do all my XML
processing in ConTeXt, but it occurred to me that perhaps using XSLT to or
even home-grown XML processing, I could generate a stream of TeX that could
be processed while I'm still producing it. So one process might be looking
at successive data records and generating TeX for the various pages, and
another process could be simultaneously running TeX to typeset those pages.
Plausible?
Thank you.
