Re: Saxon.js on the server?

This will have problems because you are using a string instead of a
file. The base path of the input document will resolve to the script
rather than the location of the XML. This is also a problem for many
of the node/xml modules, because they mostly (from what I can tell)
convert the file into a string before the parse.

I use grunt to call out to the command line to trigger an ant build file task.
