Re: [xsl] Looking for "real-world" XML documents

Wow, thank you Dimitre. I like it.

Things I learned from this & questions:

 * If I had once known you can call document() with a null argument,
   I had forgotten. I've gotten away with using document('/'),
   because I typically call stylesheets like this on themselves. But
   now I see the note at the end of
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#document, and that's certainly more
   robust than my method.

 * I love the "tokenize-on-slash, ignore last bit, tack what I want
   on end" technique. Any reason not to use "[ position() lt last() ]"
   as predicate, though?

 * Does it matter at all what $vDoc is set to? As long as it's
   something that will be matched by the one template in
   "copyDocument" mode, it's OK, right?
