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.
