That is exactly what i had understood so why document('toto.xml',
.) when '.' is a node from the source document doesn't open the
toto.xml in the directory of the source document??

When i say document('toto.xml', .) and . is a node of the source
document, xalan says the base uri is "d:\catalina\" ...

Hi,
I've also observed this behavior and reduced myself to using absolute URIs,
I believe there is a bug there.
