RE: [xsl] typing the input from within xslt

2008-11-04 08:31:22
Is there a better way of writing this:

<xsl:variable name="input" as="document-node(schema-element(root))">
   <xsl:document validation="strict">
     <xsl:copy-of select="doc('file:///path/to/xml')"/>
   </xsl:document>
</xsl:variable>

I thought there might be a validation parameter to 
document(), so it seems this is the only way to get a typed 
input when global input validation is disabled ?

No, unfortunately there's very little you can do to control the behaviour of
doc() or document() from within a stylesheet - it's all externally
controlled or implementation-defined. We're hoping to address that in 2.1.

Saxon gives you the option of selecting a URIResolver that understands

doc('file:///path/to/xml?val=strict')

but that's not portable.
