Re: [xsl] embed XML island in stylesheet?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Is it possible to embed an island of xml into an XSLT stylesheet?
   If possible, I want to access it through document() along with
   the main XML source. This would be as an alternative to loading
   the xml island from a file using document(). Thanks.


an XSLT stylesheet _is_ an XML document so there is no need to talk of
islands, surely. (Which is a microsoft notion for embedding something
that looks like xml into something that looks like html, resulting in a
file unparseable by either an xml or html parser, as far as I can see).
You can access the stylesheet using document() using the empty relative
URI of '' and then navigate to whatever nodes in that document that you
want, using XPath.
