The semantics of exsl:document aren't identical to those of the facility implemented in Saxon 6.5.2, and I had already caused enough confusion with different names and definitions of the instruction without adding more. Also, I think that by the time it was specified, I had pretty well frozen the 6.x line except for bug fixing.

In 7.x my priority is to implement standard XSLT 2.0 features.
