Re: doc() and docref() relative to source document

Re: doc() and docref() relative to source document
docref() resolves relative URIs to the source document. For example, if
you have a source document http://www.jclark.com/foo.xml containing

 <doc href="bar.xml"/>

and a stylesheet http://www.jclark.com/stylesheets/style.xsl, then
instantiating a template

<xsl:template match="doc">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="docref(@href)"/>
</xsl:template>

will process the file  http://www.jclark.com/bar.xml not the file
http://www.jclark.com/stylesheets/bar.xml.
