document() and node-list vs. tree fragment/

node vs nodelist
Hi,

I have read (though maybe not understood) the w3c docs about copy-of and
see no reason why this should not work.  Any help?

On Linux Xalan C++ v 1.1 I can use

  <xsl:variable name="f2">
    <xsl:copy-of select="document('testfile2.xml')"/>
  </xsl:variable>

and later

    <xsl:apply-templates select="$f2"/>

to merge xml files or extract-merge from a series of files.

BUT xalan-j_2_2_D10 on DOS  and Xalan C++ v 1.2.0 both reject it.

(Location of error unknown)XSLT Error (org.apache.xpath.XPathException):
Can
not
convert #RTREEFRAG to a NodeList!

Does "Can not convert..." indicate a rule or indicate a failure in the
xalan-j implemenation? In other words, document() supposed to return a
fragment or a node-set?

Thanks in advance for your help.
