It may be that I'm missing something. So we get some xsl stylesheet to the client and that stylesheet starts fetching some documents ( with document() ) from multiple websites? I mean this is what you call 'syndicated content' ? I agree that in this situation, when some 'virus' xslt stylesheet get's into the browser and then it pulls some data from multiple websites it may be a reasonable usecase. Frankly, I don't think it is very realistic, because I think that it is still easier to do this kind of things serverside. At least the administrator of the 'syndicating' server can see when things go wrong ( one of syndicated webservers has changed the schema ) and stuff like that. Also, I feel securty problems with this 'client-side syndication', but it looks minor. Maybe there is no. I agree that this usecase is close to XSLT domain. However - still - XSLT was not really designed for this. For example, I think there could be some APIs for caching... Rgds.Paul.
