yes the XSl system doesn't care what kind of thing is accessed by the
URI, you just send out a URI request and if that URI scheme is
understood, and some XML comes back then you are OK.
One thing to note though about URIs that generate dynamic content: If
you call them twice within the same XSL process then the stuff does not
get regenerated, the nodes returned in two calls to document() that use
the same URI all have to be equal to generate-id(), so effectively this
means that the system (has to act as if it) caches the results of any
document() call.
