Yes.  We allow you to pass a system ID for the XSLT document for precisely
this purpose, using the xsltSystemId attribute for <x:transform>.  The
system ID should be, in this case, a URL identifying the base page against
which the document() function's path should be resolved.

Thus, simply add an xsltSystemId attribute to your example:

  <c:import url="/xml/summary.xsl" var="summaryXSL"/>
  <x:transform xml="${summaryXML}" xslt="${summaryXSL}"
        xsltSystemId="/xml/summary.xsl"/>

Note that the attributes you're using -- xmlText and xsltText -- are
outdated; the attributes since Beta2 are xml and xslt.

Hope that helps,
