(a) It is the full paths what we need in order to parse the files (doc(), json:doc(), csv:doc(), html:doc()).

Why?

A relative path should work fine; if necessary you can use resolve- uri() to turn a relative path into a full URI.

(b) The combination of file listing and parsing in a single expression is of matchless elegance and expressiveness

Currently, if I don't overlook something, I have to do this:   file:list($dir, false(), $fname) ! concat($dir, '/', .) ! doc(.) => count()

Probably, you should use resolve-uri($dir, base-uri(.)) although i suppose you also need to watch for filenames containing colons...
