Can message expression of p:identity access items flowing through if it is a sequence of items and not a single item?

Hi,

I haven't been doing any XProc 3 for a while and I am currently
struggling to find a way to check I get the wanted output out of a step;
I thought I could do that by adding a step p:identity with a message e.g.

   <p:identity message="{. instance of array(*)}"/>


This works if a single item flows through but as soon as I have a
sequence of items flowing through I get an error that the context item
is needed but not provided.

So I thought I could use a collection with <p:identity collection="true"
message="{every $item in collection() satisfies $item instance of
array(*)}"/> but collection as an attribute doesn't seem to be allowed
on p:identity.

Is the only way I have to debug what goes through the p:identity to
precede my p:identity with a variable

     <p:variable name="result" collection="true" select="collection()"/>
     <p:identity message="{every $item in $result satisfies $item
instance of array(*)}"/>


?
