Data Mutation: Prepend Element Copy Fails

[JDziurlaj]

In testing XForms 1.1 spec, example B.1, Saxon-Forms fails with the following error:

Note that I am not using the SEF included with the repo; however, I am using a newly compiled version from an unmodified saxon-xforms.xsl using Oxygen's Compile XSL stylesheet for Saxon (Oxygen 25.0, 2022101006) and running using SaxonJS-2.5 on Firefox 108.0 (Windows)

I am not surprised that the tests are failing. As Saxon-Forms is just a partial implementation. But good to have a reference point on what needs implementing. Hopefully we can look into this over the holiday season and next year. I also welcome input from the community
