Invoking fn:put on the same URI twice or more, with nodes that have the same
node identity or not, is currently not discussed in the 2007/August draft.

This topic has been raised twice on the w3c-xml-query-wg@w3.org list, by John
Snelson "Multiple invocations of fn:put() with the same URI"(2007-06-06) and by
me, "fn:put: multiple invocations on the same URI"(2007-11-27). Member-only

One way to implement it would be to let fn:put be an update primitive(it's
already required to be invoked at the end of the query, for instance). Report
#4167 is related.
