This is my rationale. Ok, I understand! The following text clarifies this issue for me, is it acceptable? Include Y in place of e and its descendants in X. Since [XPath] does not define methods of replacing node-sets the result MUST be equivalent to replacing e with the octet stream resulting from its decryption in the serialized form of X and reparsing the document. However, the actual method of performing this operation is left to the implementor.
