While how to replace a part of a node-set from a document with a node-set
from another document is unclear from the definition of the node-set, how
to replace a part of an octet stream with another octet stream is very
clear.  So the processing should be specified over octet streams, and then
the processing "include Y in place of e and its descendants in X" is
regarded as a shortcut of the original processing.  This is my rationale.
