[Schematron] Schematron referencing xml files doubt

[rjelliffe at allette.com.au]

Schematron has no code for handling external documents itself. It is
entirely up to the XPath engine to do it.

Therefore, if the XPath does not work, the choices seem to be

 1) The XPath engine is faulty. This seems unlikely

 2) The path you are using is incorrect. This is usually the case,
especially since only absolute paths are reliable.

Puttting Schematron under C:\Windows\System32 seems surprising to me: is
that really correct. You should use an absolute path: if you want to have
different paths, you can use a top-level parameter to the final XSLT.

 3) The path is corrupted because not there is spurious whitespace.

Looking at the error message, I see that it is expecting a filename "
values.xml" where the name starts with whitespace. Unless this is an
artifact of the email system etc, this seems very unlikely.

I hope this is useful.
