I need to collect some elements from a document into a

Then use the node set data type and not a result tree fragment data type.

What you are doing is creating a fragment of the result tree, which in XSLT
1.0 cannot be processed as if it were a collection of source tree
nodes. Many processors and XSLT 1.1 do allow you to do this, but for the
example you have, you can just use a simple node-set variable.
I hope this helps.
