I think the answer is that it's the base URI of the p:input element
for the stylesheet port. From 2.6.2.2:

  Base URI
    The base URI of the element on which the expression occurs.

Though I'm not sure that's as clear as it could be.

FYI: I totally broke Saxon's fn:collection() support in 0.8.4. It'll be
fixed in 0.8.5.
