Some corrections:
1. elements which don't belong to the XST namespace
are allowed as direct children of xsl:stylesheet as long
as they are put into another namespace
2. the stylesheet itself is adressed as document('')

Therefore, try

<xsl:stylesheet  version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
   xmlns:data="urn:some.urn"
   exclude-result-prefixes="data">

   <data:definitions>
     <term name="GMT">Greenwich Mean Time</term>
     <term name="MST">Mountain Standard Time</term>
   </data:definitions>

   <xsl:template>
     <xsl:value-of
select="document('')/*/data:definitions[@name='GMT']"/>
   </xsl:template>
  ...
