For the basic specification, see: http://www.exslt.org/exsl/elements/document/index.html The only URI scheme supported by 4Suite currently is 'file:' Security note: As a precaution, if you try to overwrite an existing file, it will be saved to a temporary file (there will be a warning with the file name). If this this precaution fails, the instruction will abort. You can override this precaution, always allowing the function to overwrite a document by using the f:overwrite-okay extension attribute.

The purpose of the exsl:node-set function is to return a node-set from a result tree fragment. If the argument is a node-set already, it is simply returned as is. If the argument to exsl:node-set is not a node-set or a result tree fragment, then it is converted to a string as by the string() function, and the function returns a node-set consisting of a single text node with that string value.

The exsl:node-set function does not have side-effects: the result tree fragment used as an argument is still available as a result tree fragment after it is passed as an argument to exsl:node-set.

The exsl:object-type function returns a string giving the type of the object passed as the argument. The possible object types are: 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'node-set', 'RTF' or 'external'.
