There are a number of places in the XSLT spec where the semantics are
explained using a sequential processing model, however, the language has
been carefully designed so that implementations do not have to follow this
sequential mechanism: it is there purely as a way of explaining the effect
of the language. Not an ideal situation, but it doesn't alter the fact that
the underlying semantics are functional rather than sequential.
