There are XPath 2.0 functions specifically provided to do the job.

select="doc(resolve-uri(@ref,base-uri(.)))"

If you want relative references resolved as described in the W3C specifications, use these functions.

Relative reference resolution is not as simple as just replacing whatever follows the last '/'.
