copy-of puts invalid content into attributes, comments, PIs

           Summary: copy-of puts invalid content into attributes, comments,
                    PIs
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4Dx
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: David_Marston@lotus.com


Originally reported to me by David Bertoni.
See test cases copy56 and 58 through 60.
All have a copy-of inside an instruction (xsl:attribute, xsl:comment,
xsl:processing-instruction) that is supposed to have text-only constructors.
Xalan stringifies the whole node-set or RTF instead of taking only top-level
text nodes and discarding the rest.
(If you want to stringify everything, use value-of.)

Possible ambiguity about ignoring offending nodes "and their content" in the
node-set case: <elem>text</elem> as sole item selected
