The problem is that Xalan makes some guess about the base URI;
a guess that can easily be wrong, which is why GNU JAXP doesn't
try to guess.

The correct fix is to the application software which didn't
provide a base URI when building an InputSource.  That'd be
some puppycrawl config loader code, I'd guess.
