It is allowed and I have done it successfully. But... if you are using an absolute instead of a relative path, you probably need to specify file:/// in front of the path, since document() expects a uri . Then, if you are on Windows, there could be some question about using back-slashes vs. forward-slashes, and so on. Some experimentation would be in order.
