There is no reason why doc() and document() should be "more deterministic"
than unparsed-text().

I don't expect that anyone wrote XSLT code that relies on these functions
being deterministic. Thus, correcting the tagging in a future specification
and implementing them the right way is not likely to result in
compatibility issues.
