Hmmm .. My patched code (based on your message of the 2002/09/03) looks
like this::

         styleSrc = ResolvingInputSource(namespaceMap, REQUEST,
  -                                      StringIO(xsltContents))
  +                                      StringIO(xsltContents),
  +                                      systemID)
  +    import zLOG; zLOG.LOG('XMLTransform', 0, 'styleSrc: %s systemID: 
%s'%(styleSrc, systemID))
       processor.appendStylesheet(styleSrc)
       result = processor.run(docSrc, topLevelParams = params)

i.e. it passes 'systemID' to 'ResolvingInputSource', but not to
'applyStylesheet', at least not where I can see it .. I'll see what's
changed when 0.8.1 comes along ..

Heh, my you shouldn't credit this opinion too much --- my Linux
distribution (Gentoo) lets me install libxslt with a simple
'emerge libxslt', and then I can immediately process DocBook using
'xsltproc /..../stylesheet.xsl /..../document.xml' .. nice instant
gratification.

I haven't RTFM at all properly for 4Suite, but 4Suite looks BIG, and
looks like it comes with a whole server suite which I haven't begun
to fathom, and don't believe I need in order to use it with Zope.
