Calumet and relative URIs

(I am changing the subject because to avoid confusion.)

I think you may be right. It actually becomes even more confusing if you
use the command-line interface:

calumet -i source=../data/doc.xml http://foo/pipelines/pipeline.xpl

In the command-line Calumet *does* resolve against the current working
directory. That means that in this case, ../data/doc.xml will be
resolved to something like /path/to/cwd/..data/doc.xml

So now I tend to think the Java API should probably be consistent with
this, if only just to reduce the confusion.

Then it automatically resolves against the base URI of the contianing
element, which is the base URI of the pipeline in most cases. I think
that in this case, the behavior is clear (and also what we want).
