No. Each of the copy-of would copy a sequence of element nodes, the
template will make an implicit (single) document node to hold the
combined sequence of element nodes.

Ah, thanks David - I must have been confused. Somewhere I seemed to
remember having to deal with the possibility that an XSL transformation
could produce a sequence. Yes, here it is in the javadoc of JDOMResult:
* A holder for an XSL Transformation result, generally a list of nodes
* although it can be a JDOM Document also. As stated by the XSLT 1.0
* specification, the result tree generated by an XSL transformation is not
* required to be a well-formed XML document. The result tree may have "any
* sequence of nodes as children that would be possible for an
* element node".
Can you place that in proper perspective for us? Under what
circumstances would we expect to get a sequence of nodes (not a
document) from XSLT?
