This is what the node-set extensions in various > implementations are for, though, as you guessed. The way I read the question, the answer is yes. If you have a nodeset $ns, you can access the children of the nodes in $ns by writing $ns/node() (or $ns/* if you only want the element children, or $ns/para if you only want the <para> element children, etc). What you can do in an extension function depends on the implementation. Certainly with Saxon, when you pass a node-set to an extension function there are methods to navigate from any node to its children, siblings, parent, etc. The node-set() extension function is there to make result tree fragments navigable in the same way that node-sets are.
