nice idea!

i just tested it, works fine with both Xalan and Saxon, and as you said it
should work with any Java implementation as long as it uses java.net.URL.

if the jar or the file within it doesn't exist then Xalan fails with:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Had IO Exception with stylesheet file: jar:file:///foo/bar.jar!/com/sample/baz.xsl

and Saxon:
Failure reading jar:file:///foo/bar.jar!/com/sample/baz.xsl: no more input



thanks for that!
