Re: Please Confirm that xsl:document instruction canno

I tried this:

<xsl:document xml:base="{$base-uri}">

But xml:base is not an attribute value template, so no joy there. (This
means that there's no way I can see to set the base URI to a dynamic value,
which does seem like an oversight.)

Since what I wanted to do was the use the same URI as my initial input
document, I just did this in the template that generates the result document
from the input element:

   <map class="- map/map " xml:base="{base-uri(.)}">


Cheers,

Eliot
