Indeed you can, but you run the risk here that the reading and writing will
actually be concurrent, which will lead to a different failure. You would need
to force the read to happen first, for example by outtputting something that
appears to depend on the input document content (for example
doc('xxx')//this-wont-find-anything) before doing the xsl:result-document.
