RE: document() for opening multiple documents

The base URI for nodes in a result tree fragment is the base URI of the
stylesheet (more strictly, the base URI of the xsl:variable element used
to construct the RTF.)

This may be a case where you want to use the second argument of the
document() function to supply a base URI more precisely.
