I’m not sure what you mean here, as all binary operators function
expect single xs:base64Binary arguments and return a single
xs:base64Binary item (except for the bin:shift function, which also
allows an empty sequence in the current draft).. Could you give me a
little example that demonstrates the problem?

Thanks,
Christian
