If this is to be robust, I think it has to be:

  $locked= $jnx->lock_configuration();
  $config = $jnx->get_configuration();
  $new = transform($config, $stylesheet);
  $jnx->load_configuration($new);
  $jnx->release_configuration();

. . . which is one of the reasons that I don't like that model of 
interaction.
