I'm interested in doing an identity transform on an external XML

A good idea -- for XSLT 2.0.
However, not too useful if I am back to xxxx:node-set() on my variable.
Is this going to be the case? Is this always going to be the case if
you don't use the select argument off of the variable decleration?
Yes it is.
XSLT 1.0 was deliberately designed like this, for reasons that were (it was
eventually decided) not as compelling as the reasons people eventually
demonstrated for wanting to process result trees ("temporary trees") in a
single stylesheet run. That's why it's changing, and why you nevertheless
have to use xxx:node-set() if you absolutely need the functionality in XSLT
1.0.
Cheers,
Wendell
