It should work in the way you expect, from what you've described.
Good to know. This suggests that it must be my error (it's my code that
rewrites the original filesystem-based URLs to repository-specific URLs
so it's possible I'm committing some error there).
The error was actually in my style sheet: I had failed to declare the
input document's base namespace in the style sheet, which, because of
the way I had defined the main template (match="*"), had the effect of
not using the template in the included XSL file. My included style sheet
only had a template for "xi:include", but the outter style sheet didn't
declare the XInclude name space. In any case, the "*" matched xi:include
(even though I put a higher priority on the xi:include template). Doh!
This was a side effect of my being new to Schemas--I had created a
schema-based document, which of course requires the use of a root-level
namespace (in this case defined as the default namespace). Because the
input elements weren't themselves qualified in the XML instance I forgot
that the namespace has to be declared in the style sheet and used in the
match values.
Everything works now.
Cheers,
Eliot
