We use "saxon" as an intranet service (servlet) to transform 
files on demand. This way, we avoid starting a new process each
time. We speak HTTP with the servlet, but XML-RPC would probably
be possible, too.
In our case, the servlet owns both the stylesheets and
the source files (taken from a database).
Not sure, whether this approach is faster than starting
a separate process, when stylesheet and xml file are owned
by the client.

Other alternative would be JPE, the Java Python Environment.
