My reason is that it means you can use the string value of the returned document, which means simpler XPaths (and that people don't have to remember the details of the markup language used to encode these result documents). I guess we're going to have a standard <p:result> element to hold atomic values, and a <p:results> element that can hold a list of <p:result> elements when we need to return a list (of URIs, say).
