Maybe not exactly what you want, but have a look at PropertySet (and
<propertyset>).

That's an easy *NO* ;-)

Ant is used to build Commons, so that would be a circular dependency.
Ant lives at the very bottom of the dependency stack in Gump, so can't
depend on anything else. The few exceptions are checked in JARs for
the XML parser in lib/ (and JUnit in lib/optional/, because unit
testing is so integral to Ant).

I'm afraid this is a tough name to come up with. Caching doesn't
convey the right idea here IMHO. Sure, the impl uses caching of the
dependencies, but that's an implementation detail. You're adding
additional "Smart's" to <xslt>, to avoid unnecessary transforms, by
"spying" on URI resolving. So maybe a SpyResolverTraxLiaison? ;)  I
don't have a better suggestion... --DD
