Hi,
the xslt task also works with resources to some extent.
It should be able to process a set of XML files nested in a zip as
input, using a stylesheet which is also nested in a jar or available
on an http server as a transformation.

AFAIK, when we (mostly Stefan and myself) retrofitted
resource support into existing tasks we tried to do
the right thing. <delete> currently only works with
files. Probably the right thing to do would be to
provide a Deletable interface (like the existing
Touchable) so that custom resources could implement it
if they wanted. <javac> currently only works with
file resources, because the Sun compiler historically
only supported files, thus the entire task was
designed that way, and existing compiler adapters
follow suit, as they must. This is another area for
redesign/extension. Off the top of my head I can
think of <concat> and <copy> that do behave properly
with non-file resources. Hopefully there are more!
The current support was really just the first step, as
Steve implied above.
