document() does allow relative URIs. If it doesn't work then you are either
doing something wrong, or using a very crummy implementation.
document('something.xml') looks for document.xml in the same directory as
the stylesheet. One possible explanation is that you've loaded the
stylesheet in such a way that the system doesn't know where it came from,
e.g. from a string buffer in memory.

Give us a clue, show us the <xsl:variable> statement where you gave $var its
value. I bet it wasn't
<xsl:variable name="var" select="false()"/>, but beyond that, we're
guessing.
