I think you're right. XSLT 1.0 said (in '3.3): "if the system identifier is
a relative URI, it must be resolved into an absolute URI using the URI of
the resource containing the entity declaration as the base URI", but this
provision seems to have fallen into the cracks between the Infoset and the
Data Model and XSLT 2.0.
