resource-exists selector: test path relative to sitemap

[Michael Wechner]

I would like to propose to change the default behaviour of the
resource-exists selector re testing the path relative to the sitemap 
from it's being called.

Let me give an example:
Let's say we have a sitemap and from there another sub-sitemap mounted 
within some directory,

context (e.g. cocoon)
 |
 +-- sitemap.xmap
 |
 +-- foo
      |
      +-- sub-sitemap.xmap
      |
      +-- bar
           |
           +-- file1.xml
           |
           +-- file2.xml
Currently to test files from within the *sub-sitemap* requires the 
following sitemap snippet

<map:select type="resource-exists">
  <map:when test="foo/bar/file1.xml">
but wouldn't it make more sense to have

<map:select type="resource-exists">
  <map:when test="bar/file1.xml">
which means the path is relative to the actual sitemap?
Or am I overlooking something?
WDYT?

Michi
