May I step in?
The following XSLT is available on
http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~obecker/copy.xslt

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<xslt:transform xmlns:xslt="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0">

<xslt:param name="input" />

<xslt:template match="/">
   <xslt:copy-of select="document($input,.)" />
</xslt:template>

</xslt:transform>

It takes a file name as parameter and outputs (copies) its contents.
So you can invoke saxon (e.g.) like this:

saxon anything.xml http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~obecker/copy.xslt input=myfile.xml

myfile.xml and anything.xml are in the same directory.

How would you solve this without the second parameter of document() ?

Cheers,
Oliver
