I think  this should be a default behavior of document( URI ).

XSLT engine knows what is the system id of anything.xml, so it
should resolve the document(URI)  taking into account the
system id of anything.xml ( not the system id of xsl stylesheet ).

It should use system id of xsl stylesheet when resolving
xsl:include or  xsl:import, not when resolving document().

Or  I still don't understand what do you mean ( could be ).
