I think I have a fundamental disconnect on how to deal with the results from a
query.
What I expected was that if I did a query like /foo I would get a collection of
XmlValue objects in the XmlResults object, 1 for each <foo>...</foo> element
that was found. When I check the type of the value with (isNode == true) that
would mean that I would want to access the value as a document (asDocument()). 

I suspect that what is meant by ‘document’ in this context is the XML file that
was added to the container as opposed to a well formed XML Document and
therefore asDocument means that you want to access not the element <foo> but the
xml file that it was found in??

In that case if I want to access the XmlValue as an xml fragment when that is
what it is and as an atomic String, Boolean, etc when it isn’t, what is the
right way to use the API?
