OK. I can't try to switch until some of the new features are added, but 
I will keep an eye on XOM. More inline...

This will probably make me not use XOM. My use case is that I have 
several projects under my manager app's control. Projects start out with 
one XSL file and import default files from the manager app. Projects can 
'override' files by either creating templates/variables in thier main 
file or they can create files to override the default files. So, the 
TransformerFactory resolver looks first in the project's directory for 
XSL files, if not there it falls back to the manager app's files. I 
would not want to hardcode file paths in a catalog XML file (and I would 
not want the user to maintain it) or create a catalog in memory and have 
to check if the catalog needs to change if a user adds/removes an XSL 
file to their project.

best,
-Rob
