I need to do lookups in a hashtable, which is present as a seperate project dependant XML-document.
I do not know where this document will be located, or its name. I read in this document with the document() function given a name, but the default directory to look for a relative path is the directory where the XSL-file was located, not the source XML-file.
Since the XSL-file is retreived off a web-server, that location is rarely interesting. A much more likely location is in the same directory as the XML-file. Using the two-argument version of document() allows me to retreive it easier that requireing the user to pass a fully qualified URL for the name of it.
