What William and I are getting at is that you _should_ be able to specify
your src using
src="${...}"
If you can do that, then you have a (nother) way of telling the compiler
that it cannot compile in the data (since ${} is by definition a runtime
constraint.
So when this bug is fixed, you should also be able to say:
<dataset foo src="$once{'my/rel/path.xml'}" />
and the compiler should not try to compile in the source, and the rel path
will be merged against the app path and hence get the app scheme at runtime.

If you have a small test case, add it to the bug: http://
