XSLT 1.0 doesn't allow you to use a result-tree-fragment in a path
expression. Most processors provide an xx:node-set() extension function to
get round the problem.

As the preceding text on p 342 explains, this example shows how it is done
with XSLT 1.1, which unfortunately never made it past WD status and
therefore was not widely implemented. The example will work as written with
Saxon if the stylesheet specifies version="1.1".
