Heck Daniel this is XML specific.

Even the guru's on the XSLT list can't figure this out.

I think what I'm saying is:

Propose a method for resolving windows specific file locations,
and I think you could get it accepted quite widely.
No one understands the file:///c:/dir/dir/file.xml rubbish.

If its relative, no one understands what its relative to
(source xml or stylesheet or .....).

You are providing an environment within which it could be resolved
(my view - others may differ). propose a solution which is simple
and understandable. If its a worker, I feel sure adoption would come.

<grin/> then get Norm to take it to TAG for adoption!
