Hi there.  This is an excellent question.  It's been reported as a bug
(#7500) in the Bugzilla archive by saishi@cs.berkeley.edu, although it's
actually a spec matter.  The expert group will need to figure out exactly
what the semantics of relative URLs in the XML tags will be, whether
documents should be validated by <x:transform> and <x:parse>, and whether
such considerations affect reasonably implementability.  These issues will
probably be addressed before our Public Final Draft (and next RI beta).

Thanks again for raising the issue.

Thx for your message. I'm looking forward for the bug to be fixed.

Another issue is about xsl include. e.g. <xsl:include href="../VERSION"/> in
the xsl file. I find the transform tag is in a mess when handling xsl with
include, and include with "../". It seems relative path of the jsp (instead
of the xsl) is used. I actually tried the docbook xsl.
(http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/) I find the transform tag
totally unusable. If this bug is not recorded, please let me know and let me
fire a bug report.

regards,
mingfai
