; Highest-level API function

; update-specifiers ::= (listof  update-specifier)
; update-specifier ::= (list  xpath-location-path  action  [action-parametes])
; xpath-location-path - addresses the node(s) to be transformed, in the form of
;  XPath location path. If the location path is absolute, it addresses the
;  node(s) with respect to the root of the document being transformed. If the
;  location path is relative, it addresses the node(s) with respect to the
;  node selected by the previous update-specifier. The location path in the
;  first update-specifier always addresses the node(s) with respect to the
;  root of the document. We'll further refer to the node with respect of which
;  the location path is evaluated as to the base-node for this location path.
; action - specifies the modification to be made over each of the node(s)
;  addressed by the location path. Possible actions are described below.
; action-parameters - additional parameters supplied for the action. The number
;  of parameters and their semantics depend on the definite action.
;
; action ::= 'delete | 'delete-undeep |
;            'insert-into | 'insert-following | 'insert-preceding |
;            'replace |
;            'move-into | 'move-following | 'move-preceding |
;            handler
; 'delete - deletes the node. Expects no action-parameters
; 'delete-undeep - deletes the node, but keeps all its content (which thus
;   moves to one level upwards in the document tree). Expects no
;   action-parameters
; 'insert-into - inserts the new node(s) as the last children of the given
;   node. The new node(s) are specified in SXML as action-parameters
; 'insert-following, 'insert-preceding - inserts the new node(s) after (before)
;   the given node. Action-parameters are the same as for 'insert-into
; 'replace - replaces the given node with the new node(s). Action-parameters
;   are the same as for 'insert-into
; 'rename - renames the given node. The node to be renamed must be a pair (i.e.
;   not a text node). A single action-parameter is expected, which is to be
;   a Scheme symbol to specify the new name of the given node
; 'move-into - moves the given node to a new location. The single
;   action-parameter is the location path, which addresses the new location
;   with respect to the given node as the base node. The given node becomes
;   the last child of the node selected by the parameter location path.
; 'move-following, 'move-preceding - the given node is moved to the location
;   respectively after (before) the node selected by the parameter location
;   path
; handler ::= (lambda (node context base-node) ...)
; handler - specifies the required transformation. It is an arbitrary lambda
;  that consumes the node and its context (the latter can be used for addressing
;  the other node of the source document relative to the given node). The hander
;  can return one of the following 2 things: a node or a nodeset.
;   1. If a node is returned, than it replaces the source node in the result
;  document
;   2. If a nodeset is returned, than the source node is replaced by (multiple)
;  nodes from this nodeset, in the same order in which they appear in the
;  nodeset. In particular, if the empty nodeset is returned by the handler, the
;  source node is removed from the result document and nothing is inserted
;  instead.
;
;  Returns either (lambda (doc) ...) or #f
;  The latter signals of an error, an the error message is printed into stderr
;  as a side effect. In the former case, the lambda can be applied to an SXML
;  document and produces the new SXML document being the result of the
;  modification specified.

; Selects the nodes to be mutated (by a subsequent destructive modification)
; This function is the close analog of `sxml:transform-document'
;
; Returns:
;  mutation-lst ::= (listof (cons context new-value)),
;  new-value - a nodeset: the new value to be set to the node;
; or #f in case of semantic error during tree processing (e.g. not a
; well-formed document after modification)
;
; doc - a source SXML document
; update-targets ::= (listof  update-target)
; update-target ::= (list  context  handler  base-node)
; context - context of the node selected by the location path
; handler ::= (lambda (node context base-node) ...)
; handler - specifies the required transformation over the node selected
; base-node - the node with respect to which the location path was evaluated
