Egads, think!
Do you really want to start clobbering your input document before you know
you have a valid output document?
What if your system blows up half way through the process? Can you live
with a document that is half transformed?
Even more basic, how is the system, in general, supposed to read and write
the same document at the same time?
Write out a new document. When everything is done, delete the old document,
rename the new document.
