I am using Saxon.  I dont think it is an issue as such. The questions
are just my doubts that I thought someone will clarify.
I am kind of tending to conclude, in the absence of answers from this
group that, If a compiled XSLT is called N number of times and if the
XSLt instantiates a java object , then N objects will be created.
Thanks all.
