Of course it's fair. It provides a counterweight to all those people who
compare Xalan with its own native tree implementation to Saxon with a
third-party DOM!

Actually the lesson is important. All XSLT processors perform better if
they are allowed to build the tree themselves than if you supply a DOM
that was built using unrelated software.
