My impression is the damage of veering away from the
specificitaion is serious in the case of XSLT and handling of
xsl:import, xsl:include, and document(). A stylesheet that
handles data.xml in each level of a deep hierarchy on a local
disk, but only processes the top-level data.xml when run on a
Unix server or remotely via http is a potential danger.
Does SAXON 7 exhibit the same behavior?
Saxon 7.8 uses the java.net.URI class, which is generally closer to the
RFC than java.net.URL.
