No guarantees at all. DOMs are not generally guaranteed to be threadsafe, and XSLT processors assume that the source document will not change during operation. If the transformation finishes at all, you'll be lucky; if it produces coherent results, you'll be luckier; if it blows up in your face or goes into an endless loop, don't complain that you weren't warned. If this is an issue for you, apply some application-level locking that prevents the DOM from being modified until the transformation has finished.
