Of course. The first argument to the document function is a URI -- not
a filename, not even a URL. If you use the HTTP scheme in your URI
then the processor should use the HTTP protocol to retrieve the
resource. Whatever resource is retrieved using that URI will be
interpreted as an XML document.

Cheers,

Jeni
