It buffers the input document, building the source document model (DTM)
only as far as is necessary to execute the stylesheet operations. This
lowers latency (we can begin outputting data before the whole document has
been read) but will generally also result in slower throughput (though it
will *sometimes* improve performance -- for example, if your stylesheet
only examines the first half of the document, avoiding reading the second
half may be a significant improvement).

Nope; not at this time.
