I would classify it as a feature. I should be relatively easy to 
implement.  I added an implementation to Xalan-C in less than a day.

One thing that may be an issue is identifying the media-type.  I made 
the assumption in Xalan-C that all URIs for the document function are 
URLs that refer to XML documents.
