If you've a node-set already then what's the use of passing that again
to node-set function? Why can't the original node-set be used as it
is?
You may be writing a template and want to allow callers to send either a
node set or a RTF.
The most important aspect of node-set function is to convert RTF to
node-set, and that works fine with Xalan.
Do you really need an identity conversion of a node-set to a similar
node-set for practical needs? If yes, then is the type of input to
See above.
Besides that, consistency with other implementations, and conformance to
the specification should be reasons enough, methinks.
