Cross product? :-)

wget on http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/books/a works fine here.

Using Saxon I get

Error
  XPTY0019: Required item type of first operand of '/' is node();
supplied value has item
  type xs:string
Static error(s) in query

(no indication on line number so I'm not sure if its' the let or the
for statement in error.)

for
let $a := 'http://localhost:8080/exist/rest/db/books/a'

return
<books>{
for $book in $a//book
  return
  $book
}</books>

where 'books' is the collection.
