According to the XSLT 2.0 spec, "The second argument [to document()], if

So I construct a node whose base URI is set to the parameter $base-uri:
       <xsl:variable name="base-uri-node">
           <dummy xml:base="{$base-uri}" />
       </xsl:variable>
    
:) I don't know if that would work or not, but its an interesting way
of approaching it...

I think you really want the resolve-uri() function:

Thanks, Andrew and Michael. That is what I was looking for.

I was hoping to avoid one more XSLT 2.0 dependency, but I'm probably
committed to 2.0 anyway.

In any case, using resolve-uri() met the need. Thanks again!
