At this point you have created a sequence of (distinct) atomic values of
the contents of all elements in the collection so you are basically
dealing with strings (or other atomic values);

therefore doing an apply-templates without a select here, which then
defaults to try to process the child nodes of the context item (which is
not a node) doesn't work out.

Is that Saxon Java or which XSLT processor?
