can't you compare

I think they should be the same if 'filename' is the input doc,
shouldn't they?

Unfortunately no--'document("")' returns the root node of the stylesheet, not the input document.

Not thinking clearly. Of course this works. I was confused by the example in the writeup of document() in the spec and didn't think it through.
