One possibility is that the system doesn't actually know the base URI of the
stylesheet. This would be the case, for example, if the calling application
parsed it as a DOM and then passed it to the XSLT engine without supplying a
base URI, or if it was read into a string. In JAXP it's important to call
setSystemId() on the Source object.

That's why it's important to know how the transformation was invoked.
