Note that mapping a Windows path to a 'file' URI is a matter of guesswork, the succesful result of which is determined by the resolvers on the platform as much as in the XSLT software itself (which is often just a shallow wrapper for the platform's resolver or an XML parser's resolver). In 4Suite for example you see a lot of 'failed' entries in David's chart because we defer to the python language's core libraries' preference: the arguably just-as-ubiquitous format where the ":" in the drivespec is replaced with "|". A URI like file:///C|/foo will work nicely. We also supply functions for generating an ideal (for python) 'file' URI from an OS-specific path and vice-versa.
