RE: [xsl] Creating doctype-system value dynamically

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can do this by generating the output file using 

<xsl:result-document doctype-system="{$v_dtd-sys-path}">

The value of the doctype-system attribute is an AVT, and it's run-time value
overrides anything specified in xsl:output.
