That's not sound - . might not be the document node - if it's an
element with an xml:base attribute in scope, then you may get
something very spurious indeed.

I think its safe to use on all nodes except namespace nodes:

Regarding xml:base you should get whatever's defined in the xml:base
shouldn't you?  In which case it's what the XML author intended, and
may be what you need to know at that point, depending on your
requirements.

If the OP is invoking a transformation from the command line, then he
can pass in the file name as a parameter. That is reliable.

Indeed, but in the general case you'll be fine with
tokenize(base-uri(.),'/')[last()]
