Actually, that's not right. If you pass any node-set to the document()
function, then any relative URIs therein will be resolved relative to the
base URI of the corresponding node. Therefore, xml:base processing makes
just as big an impact on a stylesheet's behavior when the attribute occurs
in the source tree as when it occurs in the stylesheet.
