yes document() works relative to the stylesheet if you give it a string
rather than a node. (Given a node it works relative to the node's uri)
so you can just force the uri to be a string with string().

Or what I usually do as it's more obvious when you come back after
coffee is to explictly force the base uri to be the base uri of the
stylesheet by giving document('') as the second argument to document()

document(@src,document(''))
fetches the thing in @src relative to teh base uri of the stylesheet
