We think that a different base is needed. For example, let's assume that a base URI is set to http://mydomain.org/CustomerOrders where I keep all my documents and that all collations are in http://collations.vendor.com/. If I write a query of the form: for $i in doc("customers.xml") where compare($i/name, "Doe", "English-AS-CS") = 0 return ... I would like the two relative URIs to resolve against their respective different bases. 3358 1 mike 2005-05-13 21:31:38 +0000 We've had this discussion before... Relative URIs are not the way to solve the problem of making collation URIs interoperable. Implementations need to provide indirection mechanisms using catalogs, configuration files, or URI resolvers. I'm happy to ban relative collation URIs, or to say that the way they are resolved is implementation defined, but we don't want to set up additional machinery in this area. 3137 2 ashok.malhotra 2005-05-20 22:05:23 +0000 The WGs discussed this request during the joint meeting on 5/19/2005 and decided not to accept it. Ashok Malhotra 5210 3 mike 2005-07-26 14:16:06 +0000 As a result of the WGs' decision, the XSLT 2.0 spec has been brought into line with F+O in stating that any collation URI that is a relative URI must be resolved against the base URI from the static context (or in the case of a collation URI used outside the context of an XPath expression, the base URI of the stylesheet element on which it appears.)
