Composing XSL Transformations with XML Publishing Views

Summary: Algorithm to compose XSLT with XML publishing views over relational databases, eliminating XSLT execution for a subset of transformations and enabling view-based query processing. Extends to additional XSLT features, including a proposed approach for handling recursion. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
