RE: [xsl] Use document() function to get a reference to the input doc

2006-07-17 22:08:33
When I brought this issue up off-list, this is the response I 
received:

I'm getting two different generate-id() values for the same 
document's root node.

That's because they aren't the same document... they are two 
different documents loaded from the same URL.

That can't happen if they were both loaded using the document() 
function - but in this case, one was and one wasn't, so 
there are no guarantees.

This sounds a bit as if I might have written it, so let me expand. It's
actually been quite a troublesome area, in sorting out the detailed
semantics of the document-uri() function. 

If you're interested in the subtleties you might like to follow the
discussion at

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3173 

which is not yet resolved, but which I think is heading in the direction of
relaxing the requirement that

doc(document-uri(D)) is D

must always hold.
