[PT,L] is not allowing caching. Seems like mod_cache treats it as a dynamic file, because of the query string.
I may have to live with the redirection option [R=301,L] unless there are some other alternatives that I can try out. At least mod_cache is able to cache the redirected url as it does not have a query string anymore. But there is round trip involved from the browser.
To Nick's question, the links are coming in the body of a JSP file, where a javascript is loading these XML files for some processing at browser end. I can give mod_substitute a try do modify the JSP output to tamper these links, but it would involve looking at the contents of each request searching for this pattern. It might cause a negative impact on performance.
I have no idea of ProxyHTMLURLMap, so not sure how to try that option.

Just change the last line to the following (to use Pass-Through, instead of Redirecting with a specific status code):
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}? [PT,L]
P.S. I can't speak to Nick Kew's comments (I don't use mod_cache), so you'll just have to test this and see if it works for your purposes.
Good luck,
