It depends on the system you are using, eg for saxon 6 Mike documents
using java functions here

http://saxon.sourceforge.net/saxon6.5.3/extensibility.html

However for teh actual use case as long as you know your input I would
have tjought that the convenience and portability of the simple
concatenation in xslt would outweigh any benefits from using a full uri
resolver class.

Essentially the only dubious point in the concatenation version is
whether to put a "/" between the two parts. I did in my suggested
solution, but if there is a possibility that your path parameter ends in
a / then you'd need to check for that case and omit the "/"

Note this _isn't_ the algorithm for adding a relative URI to a base URI
as used in the rfc.

If $urlpath is aaa/bbb
and IMAGES/HEADER is file.gif

src="{$urlpath}/{IMAGES/HEADER}"/

would make aaa/bbb/file.gif but taking $urlpath as the base URI and 
file.gif as the relative would (more or less) produce
aaa/file.gif
as any part after th efinal / in a base is discarded.
I say more or less as actually as aaa/bbb is itself a relative URI
the process doesn't apply at all, it wuld require an absolute URI
for the base, http:/// or file:... etc.
