Re: [xslt] libxslt-1.0.1 is released

I am still puzzled about exsl:node-set.

Take this input:

<foo>
 <xptr doc="TUG">a</xptr>
 <xptr doc="TUG">a</xptr>
</foo>

and this stylesheet

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"
    extension-element-prefixes="exsl"
                version="1.0">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:variable name="x">
      <hello>bye</hello>
      <a><xsl:copy-of select=".//xptr"/></a>
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:message>
   [<xsl:value-of select="count(exsl:node-set($x)/a/*)"/>]</xsl:message>  
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I expect the answer [3], but xsltproc gives me [0]. Surely that isn't
right? Saxon, on the same input, gives [3].

If I add <xsl:copy-of select="exsl:node-set($x)"/>, I get back

 <fake><a xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"><hello>bye</hello><xptr
 doc="TUG">a</xptr><xptr doc="TUG">a</xptr></a></fake>

what is this <fake> element???? 

Perhaps someone has a working example of exsl:node-set in libxslt I
could look at?
