Kirk,

It would not be hard to modify the XSLServlet to "cache"
the other document-parts and then deliver them to the
user in the same session.  Thus, you run XT once, but
the XSLServlet gets hit three times.   I've already
done some significate modifications to the servlet
to get it to work with Apache's jserv.    Currently I'm 
now in the process of modifying it to accept the stylesheet
(and perhaps mandatory parameters) as part of the URL and
not the query string using rewriting.
