It would be useful if XWeb would add URLs for the
input files in the navigation tree, too. Here is an
example where we could have used it:

For our new workgroup website (should appear some day
on http://www.int.gu.edu.au/kvo -- you'll notice if it
is not yet the xwebbed version) we wanted to link from
the people to their publications, which are stored in
one big BibTeXML file with ids for the people.

To do this the people stylesheet needs to open the
BibTeXML file and find all relevant publications in
there, unfortunately we had to hardcode
a "../publications/publications.xml" link in there
since there is no way to find the source file using
XWeb.

If XWeb would add the url of the input file to the
navigation tree we could have used something like:

document({//entry[@id='publications']/@inputUrl})

instead.
