It seems that when the argument does not match any path (on disk or in the collections), its content is taken as xml :
fn:doc('<root/>') --> <root/>

Dear BaseX team,
I'm a little confused by the behavior of the fn:doc function:
doc('/c:/projects/foo.xml')
yields this error msg: [FODC0002] Line 1: No text allowed before root element.
Whereas these work:
doc('c:/projects/foo.xml') doc('file://c:/projects/foo.xml')
Is this a bug or a feature? At any rate the error msg is confusing.
I've used the latest snapshot (20131211.173706).
Kind regards, Hans-Juergen
