Looks like a good idea to me; very happy to hear that the headers could
get used in the server.  One comment below.

In the request-function template, you need to use $req/@name, not just
@name.  While it just so happens that the context node points to the
request node at the current callers of this function, the function
should not actually rely on this, but should instead use its $req
parameter to refer to the request node.  (In fact, in an alternate
implementation of this function, it got called from an xsl:for-each loop
instead, which changed the context; we switched to the current
implementation before committing to work around a bug in xsltproc.)
