  Hum, I smell some kind of bug/problem where the entity definitions from the
XIncluded files are not available in the resulting document being transformed.
As a result unparsed-entity-uri() which look for those in the document DTD
ends up generating an empty strings.
  Can you bugzilla this with a minimal test case, instructions at
    http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/bugs.html

  thanks,
