Saxon availability

Available in XPath 2.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery 1.0, and later versions. Available in all Saxon editions.

Notes on the Saxon implementation

The Saxon implementation recognizes the "jar:file:" URI scheme originally defined by Sun, which was never officially registered and which does not conform to RFC 2396. Technically, because these are not legal URIs, it is non-conformant to accept them, but Saxon does so in the interests of usability.

Saxon does NOT, however, accept Windows file names as URIs.
