I'm not too expert in all of this, but the way I read the spec,
the values of variables (and of transformations) is a 
`result tree fragment' rather than a general `node set'.

Apparently, you are limited in what you can do with a result
tree fragment to operations that are equivalent to operating
on a string.

I'd be happy to be wrong, tho', although library implementors
probably like it this way!
