We have no plans to deprecate fn:document() in XSLT. It does no harm, it is merely redundant, and redundancy is not good enough reason for deprecation. We have considered deprecating features that are harmful, such as disable-output-escaping, but decided for the time being that we had no formal definition of "deprecation" and it was too much trouble to create one.
