XSLT section 12.1 states explicitly (in response to a comment from me, I
might add), Two documents are treated as the same document if they are
identified by the same URI. It explains that this means
generate-id(document("foo.xml"))=generate-id(document("foo-xml")).

In my original comment I suggested the clarification
count(document("foo.xml") | document("foo.xml"))=1

which I think is even clearer. If you call document() twice with the same
URI, you should get the same tree back each time.
