I'm not sure what the current position is regarding using Saxon under
cocoon; however, you need to be aware that the above depends not just on
XSLT 2.0, but on Saxon, since the interpretation of the URI passed to the
collection() function is implementation-defined. With luck other processors
will imitate this syntax, but it's not in the spec.
