Again, there is no conceptual difference between generator, transformer,

unusefull.
Yep. They share a lot in common. The diference between the is exactly as
you pointed above:
1-The position into a pipeline
2-The I/O between them.
It is not, but if you break your stylesheet into multiple steps
(transformer(s) + standard serializer), you can put them together into a
virtual serializer.
Again, i don't have to break it, it's much more
understandable/readable/efficient in one part, and standard serializers are
bugged.
2 points:
1-Nobody is telling you cannot use your own serializers.
2- I agree the current standard serializer has bugs. I tried to fix
them. I met problems into xalan internals and .... well, it is a very
long story. Few weeks ago, I spent most part of 15 nights trying to fix
that (weekend included). I went into xalan internals. Can you help us to
fix them.? Your help will be very welcomed!
