  Well, in the case of libxslt, if the tree is built from scratch with DOM,
it won't have a base URI, which means that document('') won't work and
this is IMHO very sensible considering the definition of '' URI-Reference
per RFC 2396. If you build an URI-Reference on a resource without base and
that reference ain't sufficient to compute an URL well, you should get an
error, isn't it ?
