RE: File vs URL

This xsl:document element appears to be based on something that was in the
abandoned XSLT 1.1 draft. (In 2.0 it's been renamed xsl:result-document.) I
don't think the specs will give you much help in discovering how libxslt
inteprets it -- though IIRC they do say that href must be a URL, which means
it can't contain spaces -- but you're better off going to a libxslt forum
for advice on this.
