In addition, it would be nice to be able to have access to certain base
URI's throughout
the configuration files. For example, a lot of my schemas/etc. come
out of CVS and
I'd love to be able to configure the base URI for where they live so I
can check in
the configuration to CVS and distributed they to users via CVS.
An alternative to the environment variable above would be to have a
function-like
syntax similar to XPath:
@import url(base-uri('xxe-home')/config/docbook/css/docbook.css);
and then somehow keywords would be associated with URI values.
