RE: document('') in XSLT 2.0 validation mode

When you use document('') you're accessing the stylesheet in the same way as
any other source document, and if you specified -val on the command line
then schema validation will therefore be attempted.

If you want to validate some documents but not others then you can specify
-vlax on the command line to request lax validation - this means that
validation takes place if a schema can be located, and not otherwise.
Alternatively you can control validation on a per-document basis by using
query parameters in the URI: see
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/sourcedocs/validation.html

I haven't actually tried writing document('?validation=strip') but it should
be possible in theory.

Using global variables in a stylesheet is likely to perform much better than
re-reading the source stylesheet at run-time.
