Sorry in my example I should've used a relative path because that's what I'm processing most of the time and I use it to resolve to an absolute path. However I'm working with file sets for which the directory at that time may not yet exist.
I see. Personally, I didn't use file:resolve-path() at all; what's your reason for working with absolute paths?
Guess, I will keep the 'fix' in a wrapper function then. Personally I don't see the rationale for this in the spec.
It's surely something that could be discussed a bit more (however, it could already a bit late).
