Hi, I get a lot of IllegalArgumentExceptions like this:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: DocumentWrapper#wrap: supplied node does not belong
to the wrapped DOM document at
net.sf.saxon.dom.DocumentWrapper.wrap(DocumentWrapper.java:46) at
net.sf.saxon.event.Builder.build(Builder.java:186) at
net.sf.saxon.xpath.XPathEvaluator.setSource(XPathEvaluator.java:90) I am using Saxon
v8.1.1 and it appears that the exception occurs whenever the DOMSource is constructed
from a node which is not a document and has been disconnected from a document (e.g a
reference obtained by calling removeChild()). Am I missing something...I did not see
references to this in the bugs, sorry if it's something old. Thanks for your time

This restriction is documented in the API specification for DocumentWrapper#wrap;
Saxon can only create a wrapper for a DOM tree that is rooted at a document node.
Without this restriction, it would be very hard to enforce the XPath data model
semantics that required nodes to have distinct identity and stable document order.
