I was waiting for that one :)
The error message is quite clear, using document() function is a potential 
security/resource risk as external documents can cause problems. Here it 
doesn't matter as you're only using it to read the current XSLT. So you use 
the XsltSettings class to allow this: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xsl.xsltsettings.aspx

You need new XsltSettings(True, False) to allow document function but not 
scripts.
