Better bug categorization: API/programmatic problems versus stylesheet
! execution/output creation problems.

! After discussing this with several committers, I've changed the summary of this
! bug and turned it into an enhancement (and do not intend to apply the patch
! attached here), for several reasons:
! The JAXP spec clearly states that it expects URI's to it's files, not native
! paths (which would include UNC paths on a Windows system). Adding this patch to
! allow UNC names would actually be incorrect as per the spec; plus it would
! require more testing and possibly documentation for the rest of our users who
! never use UNC paths.
! There's a fairly easy and perfectly functional workaround: simply pass your
! local path (UNC or whatever) into a java.io.File object, and create your sources
! that way instead of passing a string.
! I will leave this bug open as an enhancement, since I agree that the error
! message isn't as helpful as it should be, and even if we're following the spec
! that only allows URIs, we should still be more polite to users who don't realize
! this at first.
