Specification (12.1) says:
"When the document function has exactly one argument and the argument is a
node-set, then the result is the union, for each node in the argument node-set, of
the result of calling the document function with the first argument being the
string-value of the node, and the second argument being a node-set with the node
as its only member."


Here we see three times the word "node". I think all of them mean that node (resp.
act. member of node-set) which is passed as argument.

Yes, I now agree with your reasoning and I appreciate that you took the time to create the example, as I misunderstood. I've just updated the text for the next edition of my book and created an erratum for the current edition.


Thank you for your patience with me.
