Here is another point of view on the XSLT situation in the WHATWG. Clearly the process needs to be made clearer. I'm not necessarily convinced by everything which is brought forth in this piece, still nice to have different point of views on it.

Indeed, if you can guarantee your materialized views to always be up to date, you might be able to get rid of some caching... and thus some complexity can be avoided.

Feeling blocked? Maybe try a few of those things on your project.
