RE: [xslt] Re: absolute paths in document() don't work on Windows

["Xyster !" <xyster_ hotmail com>]

Ok, my mistake. They are not URIs and I misunderstood the use of the 
function.

I am also aware of the non-valid Windows path in the second case. But in a 
preverse way it is a valid URI. More importantly, it does what I want.

Thanks,

Yuval
