using collection()

In an earlier post I read with interest Michael Kay saying using the
collection() to mass validate a set of documents. This piqued my
interest and went into my 2 WROX books written by M.K. himself to read
up on this function. No real examples but I think I get it, please
correct me if I'm wrong.

I could do a for-each that will parse a set of docs of unknown filenames
(size inconsequential) and lets say return the value/copy of the second
node and the documents name into a result-document. If this is true then
I can toss out my ANT build to run through a directory and output a
well-formed XML doc that contains the names of the XML files. A 2 step
process turned into inline. I've needed to do this on many occasions and
always wanted to do it inline.

Please tell me it's true
