It would help if you mention what language or API you are using. For
instance DOM has document fragment nodes. As you mention node set you
might also be using XSLT but XSLT does not know node fragments but only
result tree fragements. Why do we have to guess?
If you are using XSLT 1.0 and you want to convert a result tree fragment
into a node set then you need to use an XSLT processor that provides an
extension function for that. Many by now have one, but not all, and
while there is this attempt to standardize the name and namespace of
such an extension function
<http://www.exslt.org/exsl/functions/node-set/index.html>
some processors use a different name and/or namespace. So check your
XSLT processor's documentation.
If you want to solve the problem without an extension function then you
need to two pass transformation with two stylesheets which you chain so
that the second stylesheet processes the result of the first stylesheet.
