Where does this apply-templates appear?

It looks to me as though you could easily provide your stylesheet with two 
templates to match the two different document elements, as in

<xsl:template match="genericdoc">
  <!-- or match="/genericdoc" if you want to constrain the match
       to the document element -->
  ...
</xsl:template>

and

<xsl:template match="foprdoc">
  ...
</xsl:template>

which would allow you to customize the behavior of the stylesheet to your 
heart's content.

The error you get from trying to process a result-tree-fragment would thus 
never come up.

On the other hand, if in either case, you only want to process the 
/*/doccontent/docbody element, what's the problem again? (I don't see where 
the behavior is meant to vary based on the type of document.)

Cheers,
Wendell
