Is there a way to propagate -now to the stylesheet invoked by transform()?

I'm not sure how the calling environment and the invoked transformation are supposed to be connected.

When I run this stylesheet

calling.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="#all" version="3.0"
	xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:output indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />
	<xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template">
		<calling>
			<xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()" />
		</calling>
		<xsl:sequence
			select="
				transform(map {'stylesheet-location': 'invoked.xsl'})
				?output" />
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

with this stylesheet

invoked.xsl

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="#all" version="3.0"
	xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
	<xsl:template name="xsl:initial-template">
		<invoked>
			<xsl:value-of select="current-dateTime()" />
		</invoked>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and -now option, then I get this

C:\test>java -jar saxon9ee.jar -it -now:1212-12-12T12:12:12Z -t -xsl:calling.xsl
