Not really recommended in this case. Xalan can run from a DOM, but
that's mostly for use if you already have the DOM in memory; it's
much less efficient than letting Xalan build its own "native" data
model.
JAXP 1.4/JDK 6.0 has a new package called javax.xml.transform.stax,
in which you'll find a StAXSource class [1]. Note that internally
Xalan/XSLTC build a document model (DTM) from SAX events, so there's
a StAX -> SAX conversion when starting from a StAXSource. Thus,
depending on the parsers in question, there may be no performance
advantage in using a StAXSource.
