know POI generates SAX events, which means it can be a generator, but,
how would it get the multi-part form data on the input side? It would be
nice not to need a temporary file...
One - not necessarily good - way would be to write an input module
that calls POI, operates on another module (i.e. raw request
parameters) and returns a DOM. But since you plan to use XSL on the
output (?) it might not make sense.
Perhaps the best way is indeed to write a generator and call it in an
