but the XML document may be spread over many different URI (via external
entities)

If you want to get rid of the second argument of document() then xpath
needs functions to return the URI of a node as a string and a function
that takes two strings, a base URI and a URI reference and returns
the resulting URI. (This latter function is possibly writable in XSLT,
but not very simply, so having at as a function would help)

then
document("xxxx", node) would be more or less
document(uri-resolve("xxx",base-uri(node)))
