well, because it doesn't have to be resolved from a document, but could 
rather be passed directly to a client, e.g.

http://foo.bar/xopus?neutron-introspection=some-introspection-document.xml

but I think you agree to this as you state below, right?

why not using the document URL which is being referenced from within the 
introspection URL?

Maybe it's best if we do some examples, e.g.

Introspection document URL: http://foo.bar/hello/introspection.xml

Resource URL to be modified within introspection document

<resource>
  <edit>
    <open url="world.xhtml"/>
  </edit>

  <styles>
    <style type="text/css" url="../css/global.css"/>

</resource>

which means I would expect the document to be edited at

http://foo.bar/hello/world.xhtml

and the CSS at

http://foo.bar/css/global.css

right?
