[Chris Hillery <chillery+launchpad@xxxxxxxxx>]

The path component of a file: URI on Windows can contain C:/ (or C%3A/), but that's not directly relevant.

fn:resolve-uri() works with exactly URIs. It is not defined to accept filesystem paths. Thus, if the input is "C:/foo", it will interpret that strictly as a URI (and most likely fail since the "C:" scheme probably isn't known).

fn:doc() is an explicit exception in Zorba - it is defined (by us) to accept either a URI *or* a filesystem path. This is technically not W3C-spec compliant, but it was decided that it was necessary for a good customer experience. But fn:resolve-uri() does not have the same "magic". If you want, you could maybe make a case that it should have the same magic, but even if we agreed on that, it should use the same code from inside the implementation of fn:doc() to achieve it.
