  Well, in general no. It really depends on the stylesheet processing though,
if there are variables which still holds nodeset pointing to elements in the
document tree, then that can lead to a crash later. On the other hand if you
are sure the stylesheet don't keep informations pertaining to the document,
then that should be fine.
