Yes, I was planning for $base to be a folder; but I could use a file
instead.

It would seem like a waste to have to read and parse the $base document
when I don't need it. But maybe the XSLT processor is smart enough not
to do that...

Yes -- given the assumption that we're working in the comparatively small world of XSLT 1.0, this kind of problem comes with the territory.

You can always use a tiny dummy document to help mitigate any problems.

Cheers,
Wendell
