The vendor:node-set() function does something different -- it takes an
RTF and converts it to a node-set.

What you want must be done outside of the transformation -- either
prior to it, or within an extension function. For example, you can use
the loadXML() method for this purpose, then pass (or return back) the
resulting XMLDOM object to the transformation.
