I thought I saw an example in the EXSLT stuff of using func:result in
this way, but you're right, the docs certainly don't support that use
(although it seemed intuitively correct to me by analogy to the way that
RTFs are constructed w/in templates--that is, all the occurrences of
func:result from a *single place* in the initial template are
automatically concatenated to create a single result node set).

Clearly I need to add more test cases....

Thanks,
