It's theoretically possible to package Saxon in a Java applet and then invoke it client-side from Javascript using the standard applet invocation API. At one stage there was a sample applet included in the package to demonstrate this. But I never felt it was very satisfactory, and the size of the JAR is such that I'm not sure you would get adequate performance. But by all means give it a try and report back on your results.
