I made the following modification to XMLTransform.py

    def transform(self, REQUEST,xmlContents=None):
        """

        Generate result using transformer and return it as a string

        """

        registry    = self.findRegistry()
        xslObject   = registry.transformerObject(self.transformerName)
        xslContents = xslObject(xslObject, REQUEST)
        systemID    = xslObject.absolute_url()
        if xmlContents is None:
            xmlContents = self.getContents(REQUEST)

So I can call it from a PythonScript. Not exactly what you want, but getting there.

I'd like to see caching of the prepared Stylesheet. I don't need the output cached since 
it's all dynamic.
