Ralph,

Whilst I have found this technique fine in conjunction with "href", the
approach of using the URL of the XML document as a base doesn't seem to work
with the XSL document() function and therefore the content of the explain
record, for example the database title, cannot be retrieved and used in the
display.

Any ideas ?.

I've gotten around the problem completely without needing to echo the URL.
I've got a stylesheet client that does everything I need.

Try looking at http://alcme.oclc.org/srw/search/GSAFD
