I had that before. But it won't work for <xsl:import> and the likes. So 
I still need separate ways for separate situations in the stylesheet. In 
other words, the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principle cannot hold here 
(but who said that xslt was pragmatic in the first place, but I like to 
think that way).
But I do use some special calculation on the paths for external files 
that need to be transformed. There was a previous thread about this, I 
believe on the Saxon list, where I also had some trouble doing a precise 
path calculation (I needed both relative and absolute path). But that is 
fixed now.
