I agree. <xsl:template match="node()" .. or say, xsl:value-of
select=""node()/.. etc can never select a document node with pattern,
node() (as you rightly said, that in these cases, node() is an
abbreviation for, child::node()).

But the test ". instance of node()" returns true for document node,
because document node is a kind of node.

Thanks, for the clarification.
