=========== 

Resolves a relative URI to a base URI, returning an absolute URI

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The fn:resolve-uri function takes a base URI ($base) and a relative URI 
($relative) as arguments, and constructs an absolute URI.

If $base is not provided, the base URI of the static context is used. This may 
have been set by the processor outside the scope of the query, or it may have 
been declared in the query prolog.
