Description Michael Kay 2006-01-26 23:56:25 UTC 
Over on xsl-list, Florent Georges asks:

>   XSLT2/ยง11.9.1 says:
>

>     node is subsequently attached as a child to a new
>     element, the final copy of the node inherits its base

Item 10 in 5.7.1 makes clear that the same does indeed apply if the copied node
is attached as a child to a document node, so it would be clearer if we said so
here.

The same text appears in 11.9.2 and needs fixing in the same way.

This clarification has now been added to the relevant sentence under xsl:copy
and xsl:copy-of. Thank you for raising it.
