I'm afraid I didn't follow through on this one; distracted by other 
issues. This feels like one of those "easier to grok if I can watch it 
fail" kinds of questions.... Any suggestions on the easiest way of setting 
up a minimal test-bed for it, given that I haven't tried to run this code 
before and (AFAIK) don't have anything resembling a database currently 
installed? 


Note that there's another issue lurking in the wings... As we move toward 
optimizing stylesheets, we've introduced common subexpression elimination. 
Depending on what those expressions are doing, I suspect this too may 
introduce some additional pre-scanning of documents, and may disrupt the 
assumptions behind the SQL extension's fragmentary-DTM implementation. The 
right answer may wind up being for the SQL extension to build a "real" DTM 
despite the loss of streaming efficiency, and for us to get back to work 
on the DTM Pruning code to improve streaming across the board.
