I'm somewhat unsure to what extent this is needed.  In the servlet
example at http://www.gnu.org/software/qexo/XQ-Gen-XML.html
I managed to use relative path ok - however, it's been a while
since I wrote and tested this code, so I'm a little hazy on exactly
what is going on in terms of finding the default diretory.

Presumably URLs should be relative to the "web-app", but I'm not
sure whether they currently are.  I thought they were ...

An alternative, as you mention in another message, is to implement
the two-argument version of document.

(According to the spec, relative URLs are supposed to be relative
to the document *source*, which to me makes little sense.)

I've been on a 3-day trip and so I'm a little behind on various
things, including my "day job" work.  So it make take a few more
days before I can really look at your submission.
