This is what the function unparsed-entity-uri() is for.
Nice to know that someone wants it.
Hey, this is an important function in my publishing system since I am
keeping images in different subdirectories and am pointing to them from
different parameter entities. The fact that a relative URI found in an
external parameter entity is resolved to an absolute URI helps me maintain
the lists and locations of graphics.
I also use unparsed entities to point to the XML files that I pass to the
document() function for the same relative URI resolution features.
If I had had an unparsed-entity-notation-uri() function I would have been
able to remove some hardwired assumptions in my publishing system.
