There are lots of standards. Nobody conforms to every standard. There
are sets of standards that can be naturally thought of as being
related to each other. I am not sure that the data uri scheme could be
considered as a standard that naturally works with the core XML
standards, it is more naturally related to browsers and the standards
pertinent to browsers.

Actually I think we misunderstood each other. In the reference to
Saxon:parse I figured the problem was the parsing of data uris, you
seem to want to resolve them, meaning to get the file locally as an
unparsed document and construct a data uri, for example image src
equals data uri....?

Otherwise, if what you meant was to parse the Data URI, so that
data:application/xml;base64,......
became an actual XML for processing in the context of whatever
document the XSL-T was already processing then I don't think I would
describe that as resolving the URI. The data indicated by the data URI
does not need to be retrieved, it needs to be processed.
I may be wrong in that opinion however.
