Re: [xsl] Sibling axis and as="element()"

["Colin Adams" <colinpauladams@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There does have to be a single root node, and there is.

What there isn't is a single document element.
So that makes it a general parsed entity, rather than a well-formed 
document.

As long as you don't particularly need the latter (you would if you intended 
to serialize it, and then expect an XML parser not to choke on it), then 
there is no problem.
