        Two argument functionLoads one or more documents identified by their URIs, using the base URI of the
        node given in the second argument to resolve any relative URIs. URIs are handled
        by the <code>URIResolver</code> in the same way as the <code>doc()</code> function.

      <p>The Saxon implementation calls the same underlying code as the <code>doc</code> function; the
      differences are in the way relative URIs are handled, and the fact that a single call can process multiple URIs.</p>
