Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be able to pass an
InputStream to StreamSource (instead of the File as you are currently
passing) .

Somthing along the lines of:

java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL(page);
InputStream input = url.openStream();
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance()
                            .newTransformer(new StreamSource(input));

That's pretty much from memory, so the methods may not be exact, but it
should be similar.  I forget if there is a convenience method that loads
the stylesheet directly from a url, but it's not a lot of overhead either
way :) .

p.s. To everyone who's helped out making JDOM, thanks, it's an awesome
package, and has helped me out tremendously.
