It's even more surprising when you consider that an identical result
to your intended:
cts:search( (doc('/1.xml'), doc('/2.xml'))/hw:doc/a:entry, $query)
could be had using
cts:search(/hw:doc/a:entry,
cts:and-query ((
cts:or-query((cts:document-query('/1.xml'),
cts:document-query('/2.xml'))),
$query))))
(at least I think so - haven't tried it)
but I guess the automated query analysis isn't up to that kind of
transformation yet...?
