Interesting.
A few comments:
The four variables input-file etc. is not exactly robust. They assume
people are sticking to semi-conventional usages for file names.
Probably the O/S name should be obtained via system-property (not
available as standard, but can probably be obtained by my proposed
exslt extension)
Perhaps an xsl:function library for parsing filenames and URIs would
be a useful project.
What is this nonsense in footnote [3] about / being wrong? It is the
correct separator. \ is invalid in URIs so cannot occur in a
conformant system, unless you first decode the URI.
Your assumption that the encoding must be UTF-8 if not present is not
justified. It might be UTF-16 <horror/>.
Unparsed-text() won't give you the value of the BOM, if present, so
this had better be a configuration parameter (which still isn't
perfect - there might be a mixed set).
I'll also take the opportunity to mention that my gexslt/gestalt
processor also allows writing a DTD internal subset, although not in
such a sophisticated way as Saxon (you just provide it with a single
text string for the whole internal subset).
