This is best done with the DOM.  The XSL Processor could take the source tree
represented as the DOM and cache in memory the appropriate sections and clone
them.  Just don't try and clone shallow as that will surely screw everything up
(you can't make a shallow copy of a tree without screwing up the previous tree).
