What I am trying to do is read an element (pm:deliverable/pm:name) from another XML file in Alfresco. The other file is specified by a ref element of type xs:anyURI.I'm having problems with parseXMLDocument and the rendering engine templates. When I comment out the parseXMLDocument function/section the following stylesheet renders the html just fine. When I include parseXMLDocument the resulting html is just blank.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!–
pm:ref is something like "/content/xml/Somefile.xml"
Note: this file does exist!

<!– if i comment this 'if' and its contents out then there is output –>
<xsl:if test="pm:ref">
<xsl:variable name="deliverableRef" select="pm:ref" />
<xsl:variable name="deliverable" select="alf:parseXMLDocument( $deliverableRef )" />
<p>
<xsl:if test="$deliverable">
<xsl:value-of select="$deliverable/pm:name" />
</xsl:if>
</p>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

I've tried replacing parseXMLDocument with document(), I've tried matching as much as possible to the sample. The sample works just fine. I know that the uri for the file I am trying to access is valid because when I comment out parseXMLDocument and just do <xsl:value-of select="pm:ref" /> the value looks fine. I've just run out of things to try.Any help would be much appreciated!
