Your apply-templates select="document(....)" is invoking the implicit
built-in template rule for the root node, which in turn is invoking your
explicit template rule for the outermost element in the document. Built-in
templates don't pass on the parameters they were called with.
Use apply-templates select="document(...)/*"
