You can identify *any combination* of unique nodes from different places in
the source tree, using an XPath expression that selects the ones you want.
Those nodes are a "node set". They don't have to form a hierarchy or
anything.

You can create a new hierarchy of nodes (or multiple hierarchies that are
siblings of each other), using various XSLT instructions and/or literal
result elements. Those nodes are a "result tree fragment". They're branches
of a tree.

So a result tree fragment *is* a set of nodes. It's just not a "node set"

Someone else will have to answer your XT-specific questions.

Speaking of XT, when are keys going to be implemented? :)
