   Re: [xml-dev] rfc 1738

I tried 
document('file://localhost/c:/temp/doc.xsl')
and
document('file://localhost/temp/doc.xsl')
on Saxon 6.5.1 with success. So long as the paths
referenced did not include spaces (as is common in Microsoft
platform path names), there wasn't a problem.

AFAICT, file: is a reference to a local file, so the 
machine name is rather meaningless. Is there some other 
automagical behavior to which you refer (and of which I am 
not aware)?
