Re: Will an <xsl:result-document> with no href attribu

 Thank you Michael and Ken,

So nice to have one less horror story. :)

The existence and usage of the base output uri in this case is so
important that it would be helpful to better understand how the href
attribute is interpreted, if this paragraph is merged with the
previous one and the sentence that references the base output uri is
moved forward, closer to the start of the paragraph.

Cheers,
Dimitre
