Re: When and how are xs:anyURI references made absolute?

Hello world,

Perhaps the most significant aspect of working out how to resolve this question is how broadly impacted users will be by this change in behavior.

It’s very hard to predict that in the abstract, so this morning I published XML Calabash version 3.0.7 with a new feature: eager-uri-resolution[1]. This will allow you to test whether the proprosed change in behavior for xs:anyURI values has an impact on your pipelines.

You must explicitly enable the feature with a command-line flag or configuration setting in order to get the new behavior. The ‘version’ command will confirm whether the feature is enabled or not:

$ xmlcalabash.sh --extension:eager-uri-resolution info version
XML Calabash version 3.0.8-SNAPSHOT (build 46502ee8.196.1cHHMM, 28 June 2025)
Running with Saxon HE version 12.7 using at most 1 of 12 available threads
Extensions enabled: EAGER_URI_RESOLUTION.

Please give it a try and report any problems you encounter with eager-uri-resolution enabled.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
