An XSLT processor must report an error.  The contents of xsl:fallback
must be a template.

An XSLT processor must report an error.  The contents of xsl:text is not
a template, and there are no special forwards compatible processing
rules for elements other than for elements at the template level and
elements at the top-level.

An XSLT processor must report an error for the same reason as 2 since
the contents of xsl:apply-templates is not a template.

An XSLT processor must report an error since xsl:with-param has a select
attribute but the content is not empty (first bullet of 11.2).
