OK, sorry; it is Xalan's "transformer". calling newTransformer() with no
arguments makes an "identity" transformer. It's just a trick on my part to be able to read in and parse a byte-array, detecting the encoding using the rules set out in the XML spec (Xerces sees to this), and then outputting that exact XML to a java.lang.String. (both javax.xml.stream.StreamSource and javax.xml.stream.StreamResult accept byte arrays or Strings as argument and perform necessary conversions correctly)
Is this an expensive operation? I believe this same code is used by the import task which would call it repeatedly.
