Xalan treats relative paths differently to Saxon

           Summary: Xalan treats relative paths differently to Saxon
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jonathan.gray@netdecisions.com


I am not to sure whether this is a bug or not but I would like to think I could 
swap Saxon for Xalan and back again at any point.  I will submit this to 
Saxon's Bugzilla as well.

I have a directory tree like

- xml
- xsl
  - includes

The reference a file xsl/transform.xsl which includes a file in 
xsl/includes/include.xsl.  The include.xsl needs to also include something from 
the xml directory so does so thus: ../xml/addinclude.xml.

This is where the two products differ.  In Xalan it keeps the path consistent 
with the main XSL file but in Saxon it seems to move to the includes directory 
so the include needs to be ../../xml/addinclude.xml
