I had some trouble expressing it in a straightforward way, but yes, what  
you're saying is what the intent is.

The text "when the contextDoc parameter is specified the processing must  
be equivalent to applying the following steps" does suggest that since  
importNode is used, an equivalent solution would have to throw exceptions  
for the same reasons importNode does. But I guess one could make other  
interpretations too, so what do you suggest?

One way would be to remove the exceptions by wrapping the call to  
importNode in a try-catch statement. Would that be better?
