RE: Directory listing, as xml file

I think that all three currently-available XSLT 2.0 processors allow you to
do

<xsl:for-each select="collection('file:///temp/dir')">
  <xi:include href="document-uri(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>

though it's a bit painful as it's likely to involve actually parsing each of
the documents in the collection, which is of course unnecessary if you only
want the names. Also it will give you an absolute URI rather than a relative
one.
