The way extension functions work is entirely a matter for the
processor, but I would be rather surprised if the call mechanism allowed you
to return a string containing lexical XML, and implicitly parsed that XML
and turned it into a tree of nodes. That conversion needs to be done e
explicitly by calling an XML parser, either from the C# before returning from
the extension, or from the XSLT code after returning.

Turns out that it's a known bug in the Altova engine with a pre-existing
trouble ticket.
"29642 - extension function support for result tree fragments and node sets"
Extension functions can't return node-sets/temporary trees
I guess I can stop banging me head against the wall - the wall will certainly
appreciate it.
