Thanks for helping me understand. Can I infer that a patch addressing this issue would be welcome? > Can't say as I haven't see the URLs you're calling.

What I meant to say is that when the multiple fragments of the same document are requested, the main document is downloaded each time. For example: <xsl:variable name ="derive" select="http://taxonomies.xbrl.us/us- gaap/2009/elts/us-gaap-2009-01-31.xsd#us- gaap_DerivativeGainLossOnDerivativeNetAbstract" /> <xsl:variable name="my-doc" select="document($derive)/*"/> <xsl:variable name="changees" select="http://taxonomies.xbrl.us/us- gaap/2009/elts/us-gaap-2009-01-31.xsd#us- gaap_ScheduleOfNewAccountingPronouncementsAndChangesInAccountingPrinciplesTextBlock"/> <xsl:variable name="yet-another" select="document($changees)/* /> The above code will download the same file (http://taxonomies.xbrl.us/us- gaap/2009/elts/us-gaap-2009-01-31.xsd) twice. After looking over the link you sent, Xalan must be treating them as separate documents since it doesn't know how to deal with document fragments. Presumably adding URI fragment support would also include caching the main document so as to prevent multiple downloads of the same document. Thanks for your reply, it was very helpful.
