Yes, both expressions return a document node and the operations available on the
resulting document nodes are identical. In both cases, for example, you can use
a path expression $d//* to find all the element nodes within the document, and
in both cases you can use string($d) to get the string-value of the document
node, that is, the concatenation of its contained text nodes.
