But the "node in the stylesheet that contains the expression that
includes the call to the document function" could have a different base
URI from the root node of the stylesheet (`document("")`).  Perhaps a
`res:get-calling-node` function, then?  :)

spamming the list with updated versions until there are more significant
changes to the spec.
