Ah, so the error is in using document-uri() as the base for resolving
relative URIs, rather than base URI. That makes sense.
Thanks,

There's a difference between document-uri and base-uri. document-uri is a URI
that can be used to fetch the document using the doc() function. base-uri is a
URI that can be used to resolve relative URIs contained in the document. You
talk about document-uri, but I think you mean base-uri.
As David points out, you can control the base URI of the constructed document
using an xml:base attribute in the stylesheet.
You can't set a document URI (it's a temporary tree with no means of external
identification. That means that the garbage collector knows when it can kill
it. This wouldn't be the case if it had a document URI. If you want to create
a document with a document URI, use xsl:result-document - except you can't
then access it during the same transformation.)

I tried to find an answer to this question but neither Google nor MarkMail
revealed a definitive answer.
I have code that constructs a document using <xsl:document> and then passes
it to a 3rd-party function library that expects the input document to have a
URI so that it can then resolve relative URI references.
Based on my reading of the XSLT 2 spec and what I could find in my searches,
it appears that there is no standard way to define a document URI for
documents created using <xsl:document>.
This seems like a bit of an oversight in the spec, so I wanted to get
confirmation that my analysis is correct, that I cannot use <xsl:document>
alone as input to functions that expect to get a non-null document-uri()
value.
