Although I can see the comparison with Transformers (which clearly are meant to 
be reused) I think the more apt comparison is with a SAX ContentHandler, which 
generally are not reused - at least not without someone providing a reset() on 
their implementation of ContentHandler, which JAXP doesn't do.

There are two potential questions here:
-- JAXP should perhaps document the specified behavior of TransformerHandlers 
in their next release.  That's beyond our control, you need to look at 
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp.html if you want to influence JAXP itself (which 
Sun and the JCP own).

-- Xalan should be polite and let the user know that their TransformerHandler 
is no longer 'listening' after the endDocument() call.  I'd consider this a 
useful enhancement to xalan, but not necessarily a very high priority (compared 
to a few other things on our list.
Changed Pri/Sev to match.
