Hi there. This is an excellent question. It's been reported as a bug
(#7500) in the Bugzilla archive by [EMAIL PROTECTED], although it's
actually a spec matter. The expert group will need to figure out exactly
what the semantics of relative URLs in the XML tags will be, whether
documents should be validated by <x:transform> and <x:parse>, and whether
such considerations affect reasonably implementability. These issues will
probably be addressed before our Public Final Draft (and next RI beta).
Thanks again for raising the issue.
