I believe that Saxon has saxon:parse() as an extension.
An example where it's sometimes wanted is in processing RSS feeds.

Nesting one complete XML document inside another isn't really covered in
XML - neither is nesting HTML inside XML.  CDATA sections don't nest,
and the XML declaration is an error inside the body of a document, as is
<!DOCTYPE...>.

Bryan - I do urge you to note that XSLT is a tree processing language:
it doesn't operate on tags but on element trees.  Maybe ig you explained
what you're trying to do at a higher level?
