Xalan claims to support XPath 1.0 and XSLT 1.0.

http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html

As far as I can see, Xalan makes no claim to supporting xml:base, which
is one of the add-ons to XML.

There is a Xalan bug pertaining to incorrect base URIs as a result of
failing to track the physical structure of an XML document (external
entities), which seems to support the above assessment, which I trust
the experts will correct if incorrect.

See javax.xml.transform.URIResolver. Implement and register your own URI
resolver.
