RE: problem using document() in xslt

The most likely explanation is that the XSLT processor doesn't know
where the stylesheet was loaded from, which can happen if you supply it
from an in-memory source. Beyond that, the details are specific to
4suite, and will depend on how you invoked the transformation, which you
haven't said.
