Possibly, if the Cocoon server can respond to such href syntax.
You would need something like that anyway if you have
internal links in your document.

I'm not sure how hard it would be to add the navigation.
The navigational headers and footers come from the
chunking stylesheet, but it always writes to a file.  

I would think you might be better off starting with
the chunk stylesheet.  It still accepts a rootid
parameter to select a subset.  But you would have to
customize the 'write.chunk' template in html/chunker.xsl
so that it writes to standard output 
instead of using the exsl:document extension element.
