util:node-by-id
should be changed to always check if the node identified by its nodeId does actually exist within the document or return an empty sequence instead. Not checking may lead to an undesirable and confusing NPE as a follow up. Instead we want to be able to determine that the node was not found.Fixes the NPE reported here: #3363 (comment)
