Not at all weird: the uriEncode function expects a string, it doesn't know
what do do if you give it a node-set. The XSLT processor doesn't know that
it expects a string, because JavaScript is untyped. If you were calling a
Java external function, the type conversion from node-set to string would be
done for you.
