XSLT questions are better asked on the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com.
You need to supply a resolvable URI but it's implementation-defined how it's
resolved, and it doesn't need to be resolved to a file in a file system.
Java-based processors, for example, typically implement the JAXP interface
which allows you to supply your own URI resolver, which can resolve a URI to
any Source object recognized by the XSLT processor in question, for example
a DOM or a SAX stream. It can also, of course, be a URI that requests data
from a servlet or CGI script.
