I'm not sure I'd say "anything," one thing we found at HighWire Press was that it became very important to be able to set and read http headers. This isn't necessarily going as far as side effecting the retrieval of a document, it's more akin to adding more parameters to a function call or reading more state out of a response document. But along the lines of your other note on this thread, what we did was add extensions within the framework of XSLT 2 to allow us construct simple namespaced elements to trigger sending an HTTP request and to store those in a variable as "wrapped" document which preserved the header metadata.
