Hi Mike,
  Thanks for your response. I have two small doubts about document function, 
and would be grateful if you could clear them for me (after which I shall 
close this bug). 

Now argument of document function can be sequence of xs:anyURI. 

I have following questions:

1) If multiple documents are specified in document(), then would the result be 
the union of node-sets formed by root node of each XML document? Also can the 
arugument of document point to a non-XML resource (for e.g. a text file)?  
  
2) Now since argument of document() can be URIs, then will the XSLT processor 
send some sort of request to the resource over some protocol(like HTTP)?

I'll be grateful for the answers to my doubts..

Regards,
Mukul
