The templates which will be applied to elements of doc2.xml refer at one

If the current node is in doc2 then //element selects all the element
nodes in doc2. If you want doc1 then you want
document('doc1.xml')//element
document() itself doesn't have scope, it just returns a set of document
nodes (one in this case) what matters is the definition of a leading /
in XPath which doesn't refer to the main input document but rather to
the root node ancestor of the current node.
The problem is that actually there are multiple "doc1.xml" files and I
have no chance in passing the actual file name to the template in my
environment.
I am changing the template to pass the needed element via a parameter to
the called template so this should work, but this works only because the
structure of doc2.xml is not very deep.
It would be fine to have a way to distinguish between the "actual"
document and the "root" document without need for the file name.
