Frontiers of Tractability for Typechecking Simple XML Transformations

Summary: Characterizes precise tractability frontiers for complete typechecking of top-down XML transformations with XPath, using grammars and tree automata for schemas. Identifies several practical, polynomial-time cases and matching hardness results showing most relaxations become intractable. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
