XML Transformation by Tree-Walking Transducers with Invisible Pebbles
Summary: Extend pebble tree automata/transducers with unbounded 'invisible' pebbles, enabling recognition of all regular tree languages and an XPath-like path algebra that captures every MSO-definable binary pattern. Show MSO tests on observable configs, model XSLT recursion, retain decidable typechecking, and often reduce typechecking complexity for conjunctive queries using MSO binary patterns.
