XSLT wish list

I think the following feature would be useful for xslt:

a function similar to the document() function, but taking a string of XML as
an argument. In other words, rather than reading XML from an external file
as document() does, this would read from a string.

Here's my contemplated use of this. I would like to design an extension
function which returns a recordset as a string of XML. Using the proposed
function, I could efficiently apply a template to the recordset, writing it
to the result tree.
