Subject: Re: [xsl] Please Confirm that xsl:document instruction cannot have a document URI From: Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:01:54 +0100 |
There's a difference between document-uri and base-uri. document-uri is a URI that can be used to fetch the document using the doc() function. base-uri is a URI that can be used to resolve relative URIs contained in the document. You talk about document-uri, but I think you mean base-uri. As David points out, you can control the base URI of the constructed document using an xml:base attribute in the stylesheet. You can't set a document URI (it's a temporary tree with no means of external identification. That means that the garbage collector knows when it can kill it. This wouldn't be the case if it had a document URI. If you want to create a document with a document URI, use xsl:result-document - except you can't then access it during the same transformation.)
