Hi, It isn't an issue in XPath because the op:concatenate operator is an ',' operator rather than a function, but having two operators/functions that have very similar names but do completely different things is very confusing in the Data Model WD. The definition of infoitem-to-text-nodes() in Section 4.7.4 of the Data Model WD, for example, uses both op:concatenate() and xf:concat() in the same expression. I found it hard to understand what was going on until it came to me that op:concatenate() must be combining sequences while xf:concat() combines strings. Perhaps op:concatenate's name could be changed to something more explicit, such as op:construct-sequence? Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/
