Description Michael Kay 2014-10-15 16:17:12 UTC 
The XDM data model acknowledges that it is possible for the base URI of a node to be unknown (absent). The functions unparsed-entity-uri() and unparsed-entity-public-id() depend on the base URI of the document node, and we don't way what they should do if this is absent.

(Note: the specification is by way of the accessors defined in XDM, which perform the absolutization of the result. So arguably the bug is in XDM rather than XSLT)
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2014-10-15 16:19:10 UTC 
Note: the quaetion arose as a consequence of a Saxon bug report

Comment 2 Michael Kay 2014-10-15 16:49:55 UTC 
Proposed resolution: return the relative URI of the unparsed entity, unresolved against any base URI.
Comment 3 Michael Kay 2014-10-24 14:04:00 UTC 
The WG accepted the proposed resolution.
