xsl:result-document not working ?

Sorry for the Windows-bashing - but working on a Mac with Windows on a virtual machine means I am constantly running into compatibility problems. Everything works fine from <oXygen/> on the Mac and then does not work at all from FrameMaker on Windows. Instead of using any external or fixed references to files I have now found the way to reference the current XML file that is being processed. But then I need the directory name of that file, and this requires a little bit of XSL that I found on Stack Overflow. If others are running into similar problems, use this piece of code:

    <xsl:variable name="basepath">
         <xsl:call-template name="getURL">
             <xsl:with-param name="path" select="base-uri()"/>
         </xsl:call-template>
     </xsl:variable>
    
     <xsl:template name="getURL">
         <xsl:param name="path"/>
             <xsl:choose>
                 <xsl:when test="contains($path,'/')">
                     <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($path,'/')"/>
                     <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
                     <xsl:call-template name="getURL">
                         <xsl:with-param name="path" select="substring-after($path,'/')"/>
                     </xsl:call-template>
                 </xsl:when>
                 <xsl:otherwise/>
             </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:template>

After this, your $basepath will point to the directory of the XML file that is being processed by the XSL. No more dependence on drive letters and forward or backward slashes.
