I don't think I'd need caching inside of Sablotron (and it might even
become problem in my setup). I'd rather do the caching externally.
I thought about
- running parse on the stylesheet, that would return some object;
- then run SablotRunProcessor and instead of sheetURI pass in the
stylesheet object;
- and with all subsequent runs, just run SablotRunProcessor with the
stylesheet object.
Of course that assumes that the stylesheet object can be reasonably
reparated from the processor and that the data structure of its
implementation (or at least part of it) is stable enought, so that
you could use it miltiple times without first run affecting the next
ones.
With this approach, Sablotron user would have the tool to decide if
they want to reuse the stylesheet or parse it again, and the caching
logic wouldn't need to be inside of Sablotron.
Sincerely,
