I know I must have done this a hundred times, but I just can't find any example
on my computer at this moment. Please straighten me out.
I wish to use the document() function to create a variable holding the input
document. My stylesheet contains this element:
<xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="document('/')" />
When I run the transform, Saxon complains that I may not have any content in
the prologue. I know this is a huge clue as to what I've done wrong, but I just
can't see it. What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?
I've had this error when the input doc is empty, or when a BOM has
crept after the source has been saved using Notepad (although that was
specific to a certain XML parser, which I can't remember). I guess
you could always use select="document(base-uri(/))"
What is the reason for using select="document(...)" instead of just select="/" ?
