• Thread-topic: RE: XQuery subset (was RE: WXS acronym?)

Basic XQuery isn't type free. It still has the 46 XSD built-in types + the 2 new xs:duration subtypes. It also has interesting type issues like what happens when I do this 
 
function is-integer(xs:decimal $d) returns xs:boolean{
 
  $d instance of xs:integer 
}
 
  is-integer(xs:integer(6661))
 
Does the query return true or false? Both answers have unpleasant ramifications.

	When the next XQuery documents are published (EXTREMELY soon now), look up
	"Basic XQuery" in the Conformance section.
