That can't work. The function is called encode-uri and it accepts an URI 
as an argument, not a native Windows path. The first example is not an 
URI, neither is the second one. The second one is not even a valid 
Windows path.

In general, native Windows paths within any XML file won't work with 
libxml. You can use native Windows path only as a command-line argument 
when calling xmllint or xsltproc. Within XML, you must use URIs.
