Thanks for explaining it this way, now I understand what you mean.

Well, I did not talk of how to insert a T[links] section, so now I see 
why you say it is flawed.

What I mean is that the LinkGatherer is a "virtual transformer" that 
does not modify its output WRT the input. How to do it is not part of my 
example, and using a tee is one way, using an xslt, then gathering, then 
retransforming again is another (kind of tee using namespaces).

The problem arises when you insert the tee or the virtual transformer 
and have problems with caching, *or* have to keep that step even if you 
don't want it.

Anyway, as I said, both are ok as long as it remains fast and gives us 
the features we need.
