Re: Finding source file date/time from XSLT

No. Since, I am using Ant to transform ALL files with the Ant task xslt,
there is no way I can specify the date of the file in the call to saxon.

However, I just realised, that I can identify the source file using
document-uri(), so it should be possible to just call java from the XSLT
file.
