Internally, Xalan uses a read-only data model (the DTM), which is has a read-only DOM adapter layer wrapped around it when nodes are passed to extension functions. The cloneNode operation, because it creates a new node in the same Document as the original node, would break the read-only behavior and is not permitted in this implementation.
If you need to create new instances of nodes, or modify them, create a new DOM using your preferred implementation and copy/import the nodes into that. ______________________________________ "...
