I can't think off-hand of another way to do this.  There is only one 
argument to the doc() function, and only two for document() (the 
second determining the base-uri).

Using this approach one can take advantage of 
use-when="system-property('xsl:is-schema-aware')" and have another 
declaration that turns off validation.

I hope this helps.
