it's not that uncanny, just that there's nothing to return.
Indeed. As a matter of fact (afaik): once you use xml:base (pointing to
something else than your current stylesheet) you have no way of
referring to your current stylesheet. Which also means that pointing to
a directory/path where the stylesheet resides does not work:
document("") will then try to retrieve the path, not the stylesheet in
that path (it has no way to know it).
This will still work (for document('')), provided the url resolves to a
real XML doc:
xml:base="./mystylesheet.xslt"
This won't, as document('') tries to load the path, which does not
resolve to a file containing any xml:
xml:base="./"
