2. Technical Agenda

2.1. Approve PR #163

This PR completes Michael’s action to draft prose for fn:intersperse.

2.2. Variadic functions

We had a good discussion of this last week and there has been plenty of activity since. This item is to check with the group to see if there issues that would benefit from immediate discussion or if the proposals are still proceeding apace.

2.3. XPath 4.0 functions

Based on offline conversations with MK, the order of functions in this list has been adjusted with a goal of giving priority to things that (a) should involve less discussion and (b) should involve less editorial work.

2.3.2. The family of functions proposed as fn:range-from/fn:range-to and others

What approach should we persue in tackling this family of functions?

2.3.3. fn:duplicate-values

2.3.7. fn:differences

Editorially, this function is not ready for approval. We should decide if we want to pursue it, and if we do, how.

  • See ???
