I know, and separate hostname from path and then look for
substring-before(substring-before('?'),'/'), but in this case many of
the URIs must resolve against nodes that come from document(), and
then recursively (this is a sort of an XML crawler), and keeping track
of all URIs on the stack gets tiring. base-uri(), as Mike pointed out,
does what I need.
