I agree - the problem is that the necessary bit of information (whether 
a patch needs a reboot) is not included in the patchdiag.xref file. 
That's probably the first thing I'd wish to be changed by Sun ...

Therefore you can either use go on downloading all patches and use "pca 
-I", or use a script like the one from Rajiv, which will only download 
the READMEs and get the necessary information from there.
