not really one for here.

Look up the xslt document() function in any reference work.

But I suspect you could resolve the references within your XQuery itself
before running a transform to XHTML on the output, or indeed generate your
XHTML directly in XQuery, with some help from eXist's serializer options,
and so not need an XSLT transform pass at all.
