My project involves a Java web application and a Java 5.0 application that
share the same directory structure.  Unfortunately, the parser in the web
application interprets the document() function differently than the parser
in the standalone application.  I suppose the base paths are different.
Unfortunately, in neither case does document('') refer to the stylesheet
that makes the call.

I can't figure out how to work around this problem without hardcoding
absolute paths or having two sets of stylesheets with different relative
paths.
