Yes, I'd seen that and wondered whether my problem was related in 
some way to it.  While it makes perfect(ish) sense to apply this 
restriction to stylesheets, I can see no justification for 
constraining datasources in this way, as it represents a major 
reduction in the function's usefulness.  The XSLT specs certainly 
suggest it should operate across domains.  I can't see any 
appropriate Bugzilla entries but am sorely tempted to raise one.
