  The documentation is in error:
    - it should be a file path
    - the directory will be created (unless --nomkdir or --nowrite
      is also specified)

  okay that's a bug somewhere in the libxslt computation:

  works

paphio:~ -> xsltproc -v -o /tmp/result  editable.xsl bbb.xml
Added namespace: xsl mapped to http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
xsltPrecomputeStylesheet: removing ignorable blank node
xsltParseStylesheetProcess : found stylesheet
...
xsltProcessOneNode: applying template 'HTMLPage' for HTMLPage
xsltEvalAttrValueTemplate: html returns html
xsltApplyOneTemplate: copy text
    Sample output.

xsltCopyText: copy text
    Sample output.

Wrote 126 bytes to /tmp/tmp.html
paphio:~ ->

  but 

aphio:~ -> xsltproc -v -o /tmp/result  /u/veillard/editable.xsl bbb.xml
Added namespace: xsl mapped to http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
xsltPrecomputeStylesheet: removing ignorable blank node
xsltParseStylesheetProcess : found stylesheet
...
xsltProcessOneNode: applying template 'HTMLPage' for HTMLPage
xsltEvalAttrValueTemplate: html returns html
xsltApplyOneTemplate: copy text
    Sample output.

xsltCopyText: copy text
    Sample output.

Wrote 126 bytes to /u/veillard/tmp.html
paphio:~ ->

  fails, for some reason it takes the XSLT stylesheet as the base for the
output even if a document URL has been specified on the command line.

  It's a bug and I will try to fix it in the next version.

  tmp.html is an URI reference, the base used it the containing
document being written, and the computation in RFC 2396 of 
     base = /tmp/result
     href = tmp.html
gives
     url = /tmp/tmp.html
