In previous versions of Fedora, datastream inputs to service methods were limited to datastreams that were members of a given data object.A typical scenario involved a dissemination that used XSL to transform one metadata format into another.
For example, in order to create a dissemination which uses an XSL document to transform one metadata format into another, each object was required to have a member datastream that contained (or referenced) the XSL document, even though the XSL document was shared across all of the objects.
