Behaviour of DOMSource(Node) does not match description

           Summary: Behaviour of DOMSource(Node) does not match description

The description of the DOMSource(Node) constructor in the JAXP 1.2 
Specification reads as follows:

  public DOMSource(org.w3c.dom.Node n)

  Create a new input source with a DOM node. The operation will be applied to
  the subtree rooted at this node. In XSLT, a “/” pattern still means the root
  of the tree (not the subtree), and the evaluation of global variables and
  parameters is done from the root node also.

That seems to imply that, given a document like the following, if the Node 
passed to the DOMSource constructor is the element node named "innermost", the 
process of building the result tree should begin with the "innermost" element,
but that the document node in the XPath data model should correspond to the 
DOM's Document node, and presumably that the "doc" and "inner" element nodes 
will be part of the input tree as well.

   <doc><inner><innermost/></inner></doc>

Xalan-Java Interpretive seems to create a DTM that contains a document node 
containing only the "innermost" element.

I'm checking the interpretation with the JAXP Expert Group.
