RE: Using document()

The XSLT processor is looking for a resolvable path as the argument to the document function.

If the value of the xlink:href attribute is a path to an actual XML file, then it should work. If it isn't, and it's an IDREF-type link to attribute that contains that value, then you'll need an XPath that will get that value for you.

w/o more information on your document structure ... It is a little hard on this end ...

Sorry if this appears twice, I'm having some problems with my mail systems. 

I have a question. 
 
I want to use the following:
 
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('#id2')" /> 
 
Ok, I'd never actually use this. In reality its something like:
 
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(@xlink:href)" />
 
which is likely to contain simply fragment identifiers since I'm using XLinks to normalize a sitemap hierarchy. 
 
When I try to run this as part of a transform, I get an error saying that the file (fully resolved to refer to the source doc) cannot be found. Is this a problem with how I'm doing things or perhaps a problem with app I'm using to develop templates with (Stylus Studio)?
 
Do you have any other ideas about how I can accomplish the same thing given that some of my xlink:href attributes will point to external documents?
 
Thanks,
