I agree it's somewhat unexpected. As we are working on the string result that is returned by Saxon, it's currently not that easy indeed to decide how to interpret the character stream.

Ok thanks. I thought this might have been unintended behavior. if($report?result instance of document-node()+) then document{$report?result} else $report?result seems to give me what I expected here. /Andy

Hi,
Using BaseX 9.7.1 and saxon9he-9.9.1.jar The documentation suggests the ?result from xslt:transform-report should be *a* document-node where possible [1] This seems not quite to be the case when there are processing instructions or comments at the top level. In these cases a sequence of document-nodes is returned.
/Andy [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/XSLT_Module#xslt:transform-report
let $xslt:=<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=" http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0"> <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/> </xsl:stylesheet>
let $xml:=document{ <?something type="compact"?>, <foo/>} return xslt:transform-report($xml,$xslt)
Returns map { "messages": (), "result": (<?something type="compact"?>, <foo/>) }
