In schema unaware xslt2 environments, what would be the best way to select action depending on the result type (ex: string, text node(s), attribute(s), element(s)) of saxon:evaluate(), ex:

I think it's basically to do an xsl:choose. However, your note reminded me
to add "apply-templates on atomic values" to the candidate requirements list
for future XSLT versions. It's a little hard to come up with really
convincing use cases, but I think it would make the language more orthogonal
and that's always a good thing. Certainly, polymorphism on atomic values as
well as on nodes seems intrinsically desirable.
