The collection function http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-collection returns a sequence of nodes (node()*) so it seems to be meant for loading XML documents and not plain text.
Also note that the interpretation of the argument is implementation dependant.

Can the collection function be used as a general (file system) directory scanner for non XML files given that XSLT 2 allows the loading of non XML documents via the unparsed-text function?
It's not unexpected but my investigation found that the (Saxon) XSLT processor complained about the text file (containing 'the quick brown fox') was not well-formed.
<xsl:for-each select="collection( '?select=fox.txt')"> <xsl:value-of select="document-uri(.)"/> </xsl:for-each>
