No.

But it is totally superfluous.
The Gobo XSLT library implements stylesheet caching by default. So if
you call a transformation on the same URi twice, the stylesheet will
only be compiled once.

These are to alter the behaviour described above. (I'm not sure why
anyone would actually want to, but I provided these facilities in the
class XM_XSLT_TRANSFORMER_FACTORY from the start. take a look at the
source if you like. Eiffel is extremely readable.
