Hi Colin,
Actually, they both can be freely shared -- the ownership issue has to do
with the lifetime of the object. For example, it's possible to use a
XalanTransformer instance as a factory for XalanParsedSource and
XalanCompiledStylesheet instances and use them in transformations with
other XalanTransformer instances.
See the ThreadTest test program for an example of a XalanTransformer
instance used solely as a factory.
Of course, you can always create instances of the implementation classes of
XalanParsedSource and/or XalanCompiledStylesheet without using a
XalanTransformer as a factory. That might make more sense if you want a
cache of source trees and/or compiled stylesheets.

I notice that XalanTransformer::ParsedSource is owned by the
transformer, and can't be used by another.
Would I be right to assume that this restriction does NOT applied to
CompiledStylesheet, so they could be cached, for instance?
