| This is not good practise IMHO. System identifier should always work

I think that's a matter of taste. If you have a closed system, there's
nothing technically wrong with using URNs. I've been tempted on more
than one occasion to use them in href attributes on xsl:import, for
example.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
