what would be great is a first stab definition for the module area;

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<exslt:module xmlns:exslt="http://exslt.org/documentation"
              version="1" prefix="uri">

<exslt:name>URI</exslt:name>

<rdf:Description xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
                 xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
                 ID="uri">
   <dc:subject>EXSLT</dc:subject>
   <dc:subject>uri</dc:subject>
   <dc:subject>module</dc:subject>
   <exslt:revision>
      <rdf:Description

                       xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
                       ID="uri.1">
         <exslt:version>1</exslt:version>
         <dc:creator>Jim Fuller</dc:creator>
         <dc:date>2005-05-22</dc:date>
         <dc:description>A module of URI parse/handling
functions.</dc:description>
      </rdf:Description>
   </exslt:revision>
</rdf:Description>

<exslt:doc xmlns="">
   <section>
      <para>
         EXSLT - URI covers extension elements and functions that
provide facilities .....PLEASE INSERT
      </para>
   </section>
</exslt:doc>

<exslt:functions>
   <exslt:function name="base-uri" version="1" core="yes" />
 </exslt:functions>

</exslt:module>


then the next step would be to fill out the uri:base-uri() function
definition

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

would be great if anyone could knock this into shape... though no rush I
am still working on fixing the original EXSLT distro for review by
management gang.
