  Did you think about dividing this in two times:
compilation + transformation itself?  So it would be
possible to compile once a script and then apply it several
times, on several inputs.  For example to transform all
input documents in a directory, what seems to be a very
common need.

  It is the way choosen in Saxon.  And I think it is what
JAXP provides with Templates.

  I see you have "various stylesheet-caching control flags
in mind".  This can be a simple way to achieve this in some
cases, delegated to the user.
