  That information is not provided. A document cache might actually 
be used for stylesheet since there is xsltDocumentPtr docList; at
least for includes.

  Not forbidden, note that import and include are processed very differently.

  You should *never* give back twice the same xmlDocPtr at that API
level. This should be very clear from my earlier mails, it replaces an
xmlReadxxx and the documents are subsequently, modified, sometime subtrees
are cut off and merged in the main stylesheet. Do not use it as a cache,
it cannot play that role. It will leak memory, crash and burn !

  You always return a different one !
