Hi,

I have a general question to entity resolution in xslt:

Is an xslt processor allowed to return an altered SystemId
instead of an input stream for e.g. on of the following 
xslt elements?

<xsl:include href="external.xslt" />
or
<xsl:import href="external.xslt" />

The general answer for EntityResolvers is that they may
also return another System Identifier instead an 
file-like-object created throug "makeStream" of an
InputSource.

I looked at the API documentation of XALAN-C, especially
XSLTInputSource.
For me it seems that this class only provides an resolution
to an input stream rather than just accepting an altered 
system-id and try to open this source itself.

Why do I ask:
I want to build a small repository of xsl stylesheets to be 
included in an application without for the users to worry 
about the real place, where they are stored.
 

thanks a lot for Your help,
 Robert
