This one doesn't look like a Saxon problem. As far as I can tell, a node in
the input DOM document is being passed transparently through Saxon and the
XSLTFunctions library to the XOM DOMConverter, which doesn't like it.

I tested this by taking Saxon out of the equation: if the program is reduced
to:

          DocumentBuilderFactory df = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

          org.w3c.dom.Document doc = df.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new
File("mmlkit.xml"));
        Element outer = doc.getDocumentElement();
        NodeList outerKids = outer.getChildNodes();
        DOMConverter.convert ((org.w3c.dom.Element) outerKids.item (1));

then it fails with the same error.
