RE: XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators V

Mike,
What will <xsl:value-of select="1 TO 10" /> give you?
What will <xsl:copy-of select="1 TO 10" /> give you?
Will the "," be used as in xf:item-at(($seq1, $seq2), 5) and
xf:item-at((1 TO 3, 4 TO 6), 5)?
Will you be able to do <xsl:for-each select="(1 TO 3, 4 TO 6)">
Why is TO only monotonically increasing?

Ciao Chris
P.s. Does the word monotonically (11.2.1.3) need to be there? It isn't
in the online Cambridge dictionary and a quick search of google came up
with 2 equally scary pages http://atlas-conferences.com/c/a/e/u/38.htm
