Indeed, you can access the base URI for a node using the base-uri()
function in XPath 2.0. So if you want to know the filename for the
input document, you can do:

<xsl:variable name="input-uri" select="base-uri(/)" />

and if you want to know the filename for the stylesheet, you can do:

<xsl:variable name="stylesheet-uri" select="base-uri(doc(''))" />
