Brian Minchau reassigned XALANJ-2057:

    Assign To: Henry Zongaro

Per the JIRA committer meeting March 1, I'm assigning to Henry. This looks like a reasonable improvement, but needs further investigation. The Xalan PMC needs to decide on the fix priority.

> Saxon 8 has a nice feature whereby you can pass a TrAX SAXSource/DOMSource etc. to the Transformer.setParameter method, Saxon converts that source into its internal representation. That is, it will read from the source and build the necessary representation of a node-set. This makes it relatively easy to set parameters whose values are node-sets.
> This is very useful for hooking up Xalan to other object models such as JDOM and XOM. Currently these models can be transformed by wrapping the original input document in a SAXSource. However, node-set parameters do not work the same way. These have to be set by wrapping them in a DOM NodeIterator or NodeList or Node. It would be more consistent and more convenient if setParameter accepted a TrAX Source object as well.
