My question is, why can't I use document function in the template rule or is
there any alternative to such a problem.
"why" you can't do it is that the syntax of patterns clearly doesn't
allow document function in that position, as I think had been answered
already.
The normal idiom is to go
<xsl:apply-template select="document('Tes.xml')/*" />
then you don't need to have a second template matching /, just one matching
/books (or /readers)
