The focus/orientation of program design from the programmer's 
perspective is the document order of the output, which is totally 
independent of the document order of the input.

(though being the same helps)

(many students would ask me about "going back" and "fixing" or 
"adding to" content that already has been processed)

That and the already mentioned distinction of push and pull comprise 
most of the introduction lecture in my XSLT class.

p.s. Plug: I've made that referenced introduction lecture part of the 
free 5 hours of my 24-hour hands-on class for XSLT/XPath 2 that 
anyone can review without obligation:
