feature suggestion for xalan

[An...@sbphrd.com]

I am finding xalan useful in our project (we download XML documents and
then later display portions of them in a browser after doing an XSLT
transformation).  However there is a feature we would like that isn't
present in the existing example program testXSLT.  We would like to be able
to pipe the XML document into testXSLT via STDIN as opposed to specifying
an input file.  Our xml files are stored in a custom document storage
system and it would be handier to be able to pipe the buffer into testXSLT
- right now we have to write out a temp file and point testXSLT to the
tempfile (and delete it later).

Thanks,

--Andrew Lewis

Speaking of that -- what version -- how does one
determine the version of Xalan he/she is running?
