[XML-SIG] 4XSLT Bug Affecting Document()

[Craeg K. Strong]

+100!

As you know, Uche, we use URI resolvers to support URN resolution
for _both_ stylesheets and documents, via subclassing both 
StylesheetReader and PyExpatReader,
respectively.   Having a high quality, fully-supported, extensible, official
resolver thingie  would be a major boon for us....  :-)
