Yes, I'm just looking to simplify the code flow, so that I can just get the Templates object out of the cache and process the input to the output. In any case, it doesn't look like I'll be able to do that (unless I actually write an identity stylesheet). I guess I'll have to create an identity Transformer (and TransformerFactory) on the fly if no Templates object is found for that message type.
