Hmm. That suggests that the Saxon implementation of node-set() is not
conforming as it doesn't throw an exception when no argument is passed. 

But I actually think that having "node-set()" return an empty node set
is the better behavior--it's what I would expect from my experience with
other programming languages and it makes it possible to explicitly
create an empty node set.
