1. There must be a one-to-one mapping of input documents to output
documents.

2. There are no facilities for algorithmic transformations of attributes or
element content.

3. There are no facilities for adding "grouping" nodes (e.g. changing
 <H2></H2><P></P><P></P><H2></H2><P></P><P></P> to
 <S2><H2></H2><P></P><P></P></S2><S2><H2></H2><P></P><P></P></S2>
