exsl:node-set( $value as item()* ) as node()*
Summary
Returns a sequence of nodes based on the input object. If the input is a sequence of nodes, it is returned as it is. If it is a node, it is simply returned as a singleton sequence. For all other atomic types, a text node is returned based on the string-value of the type. This was a useful function in XSLT 1.0 where "Result Tree Fragments" are returned as a result of xslt instruction. In XSLT 2.0, however, xslt instructions return sequences. This function is simply being provided for backward compatibility to existing applications.
