The XSLT processor creates a Templates instance for the whole,
combined stylesheet, including all of the xsl:included documents,
e.g. the transitive closure. That's why the XSLT specification doesn't
allow for something like:

<xsl:include href="$param"/>

Cocoon caches the resultant Templates object; however it's unclear to
me right now if the caching mechanism is able to detect modifications
of the included documents, and correctly regenerate the Templates
object.
