Almost certainly a bug. I'll look into it.

T2/marrowtr.xsl:
  Required type of result of function fxl:allTrue is xs:boolean;
supplied value is java:java.lang.Object Transformation failed: Run-time
errors were reported"

My questions:

What is actually happening here? Is this difference in the behaviour of
xsl:copy and xsl:sequence documented in the WD? Am I not understanding
and using xsl:sequence in a correct way or is this a bug in the XSLT
processor?
