Re: Why does the doc() function reject non-ASCII char

I was given a large number of XML files to
convert to HTML using an XSLT program I have written.

I collected all the filenames into a file.

In my XSLT program I have a loop that:

    - reads in a filename
    - uses the filename in the doc() function to read in the file
    - process the file

The problem is that some filenames contain odd
characters. Here is an example of a filename:

PalaisAfacettes_jpg.xml

Notice the two dots over the 'y' character (diaeresis).

When my XSLT program gets to that filename it throws an error:

Failed to read input file ...

Why?

Why do I get that error?

Why does the doc() function care if the filename contains a diaeresis?

It cares that the URI is properly formed.  Have
you tried running encode-for-uri() on the
filename in order to have it follow the RFC3986 rules?

Second question: do you have suggestions on how
to locate in my file (that contains all the filenames) the offending
