Can func:function return a xsl:message with nodes inside the xsl:message?

Hello,

Could someone help me to verify the right results of the func:function? I
have following code, currently it doesn't work with Xalan. It throws error
that says "misplace literal result in a func:function container"

<func:function name="my:test">
  <xsl:param name="type"/>
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$type='B'">
    <func:result select="2"/>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:message>
      Error
    </xsl:message>
  </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</func:function>

<xsl:template match="foo">
  <xsl:value-of select="my:test(@Name)"/>
</xsl:template>

According to the spec., it mentions "it is an error if the instantiation of
the template results in the generation of result nodes.". How should I
interpret this spec.? Does it works for
nodes generated within xsl:message? I know it works for nodes generated
inside
xsl:variable. e.g.

<xsl:otherwise>
  <xsl:variable name="x">
     <new-node/>
  </xsl:variable>
<xsl:otherwise/>
