Can the collection function be used as a general (file system) directory

documents via the unparsed-text function?
It's not unexpected but my investigation found that the (Saxon) XSLT
processor complained about the text file (containing 'the quick brown fox')
was not well-formed.
<xsl:for-each select="collection( '?select=fox.txt')">
<xsl:value-of select="document-uri(.)"/>
</xsl:for-each>
The collection function
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-collection returns a sequence
of nodes (node()*) so it seems to be meant for loading XML documents and
not plain text.
Also note that the interpretation of the argument is implementation
dependant.
