Sounds reasonable. Although I fear changes to esql.xsl and helper
classes might be cosiderable to achieve this.

This would lead to the question: Is it worth it? I mean, in my book
ESQL should be used to generate content only, not for update,
insert or delete. And for that it's probably less often useful to
repeat a query a number of times. Would be different of course, if the
statement would be kept over different invocations of the page (the
driver or the DBMS might do it for prepared statements).
