[Zope-xml] XML Transform 'behave_like' quibble

[Craeg Strong]

behave_like specifies how the *result* of the transformation behaves.

For example, you could have a source XML document contained in an 
XMLFile object,
your XSLT transformer could be a DTML Method,
and the *result* could be a ZPT.

There really is no way to know in advance what the result of the 
transformation would be,
without parsing the XSLT code.  That is why the behave_like attribute 
exists.

Hope this helps,
