XSCH-QL-002 Section 3.4 Arithmetic expressions

The unary arithmetic operations are defined as:

  [65] UnaryExpr ::= ("-" | "+")* UnionExpr

Allowing multiple unary operations to be concatenated together is
different than normal practice in most other languages.  A rationale 
or clarification would be welcomed here.
