RE: document function support needed

Well, the first obvious thing is that this expression:

<xsl:variable name="value"
> select="document($profile)/user/type/text()"/>

isn't going to find anything in the user Profile you've shown us,
because the <user> element doesn't have a child called <type>.

Also, this code must have got garbled somewhere:

> >                 <xsl:param name="profile"><xsl:value-of 
> > select="$ID/>.xml</xsl:value-of>

(there's a missing closing quote, and <xsl:value-of> instructions must
be empty. It looks to me as if you posted code that you never put
through an XSLT processor.)
