It's not quite that simple: the second argument to the document() function is a *node-set* and the base URI (used to resolve the first argument) is the base URI of the first node in that node set. The base URI of a node is the location in which it originated. Usually you'd pass the context node as the second argument, something like: <xsl:template match="xi:include"> <xsl:copy-of select="document(@href, .)" /> </xsl:template> to ensure that the first argument is resolved relative to the XML document in which the URI is specified rather than relative to the stylesheet itself. I'm very surprised that: document('contractorList.xml', '../xml/') works for you. I get errors when I try using that with Saxon, MSXML or Xalan-J... (Also, the first argument can be a node-set rather than a URI, in which case you get a node-set containing all the root nodes of all the documents referenced.)
