Hi Didier,

We can not and we should not. We should be capable of transforming
text which is XML into node-set ( like document() function does ) and we
should be capable of transforming result tree fragment into node-set,
like xt:node-set() does and we can do that adding node-set() typecast.
to-node-set() could be a good name for this typecast.
Idealy, to-string() typecast being applied to nodeset should return a string
with XML representation of the provided nodeset.
