RE: remote XML with document()

It's entirely up to the XSLT implementation what types of URL it's prepared
to handle in the document() function. Most of the processors I know of are
happy to handle http: URLs (provided of course that there are no firewalls
or other configuration problems). But I don't know about Sablotron.
