Just FYI, people do this kind of thing all the time. This activity in general
is the cause of a FAQ on the Saxon list, when people try to use
document("someRelativeURI") in a stylesheet that was given as a stream via an
InputSource. Michael Kay always tells people:

   If you build the stylesheet from a SAX InputSource, be sure to
   use setSystemId() even if the actual source is a stream. You
   can set it to any legal URI value, e.g. "file:/" + 
   System.property("user.dir") + "/".

Though he doesn't advise people about the underlying-OS-dependent quirks of
the "file:" scheme. :)
