Windows also works with forward slashes /. A path like

"c:/program files/saxon/saxon8"

Yes it does. Infact I prefer to use / in windows wherever possible in the XML configuration files because some programming languages escape \ with \\ when it appears inside a String, but there's no need to escape / when it appears in a String.

on the commandline will work on all current windows systems and using
paths like that will in all places where you need paths, you're making
your application more platform-independent.

I concur, that is good programming practice.


Not sure if the Mac has this
'feature' though.

I've heard that the recent versions of Mac have BSD Unix on them, so I would assume that the Unix syntax works on Mac.

If you have code that contains paths, you must use the URI syntax  (i.e.
for doc(), unparsed-text() etc), which also has forward slashes for path
separation.

Yup.
