Lars,

In XSLT 1.0 you'd probably simply have:

<xsl:variable name="base" select="document($base-uri)"/>

and then document($relative-uri,$base).

Of course this only works if an XML document is already there at $base-uri.

Which is only one of several reasons why 2.0 features are very nice to have in this instance.

And if you've crossed the line into 2.0 at all, you may as well go all the way, there being no such thing as XSLT 1.9. :->

Cheers,
Wendell

I was hoping to avoid one more XSLT 2.0 dependency, but I'm probably
committed to 2.0 anyway.

In any case, using resolve-uri() met the need. Thanks again!
