Description Michael Dyck 2011-10-01 07:57:34 UTC

It seems to me that function item coercion should be required to raise a type error if there's a mismatch in the number of parameters (expected vs actual),
because the semantics of the new function don't make any sense in such a case.

(Currently, an implementation is merely *allowed* to raise a type error.)

Comment 1 Jonathan Robie 2011-10-25 14:35:06 UTC

I agree.

Comment 2 Jonathan Robie 2011-10-31 22:19:47 UTC

The Working Group agrees.

Comment 3 Michael Dyck 2011-11-18 05:22:15 UTC

I have made an appropriate change to the editor's draft of the XQuery/XPath spec.
