Assembling this is the job of the XML parser, not the XSLT processor. A simple
<xsl:copy-of select="/`"/>, or the query ".", should do the job.

It won't work, of course, if the parser doesn't support DTDs -- for example
that's true for all parsers we know of on Node.js. It also won't work if
external entity expansion is disabled in the parser, which is increasingly
often the case because of security paranoia.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
