Re: [xsl] XML Embedded in XSL Embedded in XML

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

In the XPath data model, each node has a "Base URI" associated with it, 
which you could use for this purpose if you could only get access to it. 
Unfortunately there's no function in XPath 1.0 that will give it to you.

There may be hacks or tricks you could use, or honest extension functions, 
to get this value, depending on your processor. But the easiest and most 
portable way to get the value into your stylesheet is simply to pass the 
file name in as a string parameter, at runtime.

Ask again if you can't figure out how to do this.

Oh, and, strictly speaking you're not allowed to use "xml" as an element 
name (though not all processors enforce this restriction).

Cheers,
Wendell
