I have a problem, & I have a solution. I just want to bat it around here before I apply it across the board. Currently there is no documented equivalent to the <BASE href=""> tag in html for XSL stylesheets. However, the use of xsl:include & xsl:import rely explicitly on there being a 'Base URI' available to work from. Now in my case I'm either parsing & caching my xsl long before the transform, or in some cases generating it from scratch. I still want to use xsl:include, but my xsl tree has no Base URI. So I want to explicitly define it, and I'd like to do that in a way that falls within the rules. I see that this issue as it applies to XML in general has already been considered in the proposal http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlbase Great. So can anyone give me some good reasons (I mean REALLY good reasons) why I should not start using syntax like <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0" xml:base="http://my.host/xsl/mystylesheet.xsl" > for the purposes of my own development? (or should that be xsl:base?) And if this strikes a chord, will we be likely to see adoption of this method in the future? Awaiting a response (as I'm sure there's something I haven't thought of that will annoy the spec Nazis out there) Regards .dan. -- :=====================:====================: : Dan Morrison : The Web Limited : : http://here.is/dan : http://web.co.nz : : dman@xxxxxxxx : danm@xxxxxxxxx : : 04 384 1472 : 04 495 8250 : : 021 115 7339 : : :.....................:....................: : If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy? :.........................................: XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
