Subject: [FO] Errors in fn:max & fn:min examples (editorial)


The fn:max and fn:min functions are not variadic,
but the following examples imply that they are:
        
      * fn:max(3,4,5) returns 5.
        
      * fn:max(5, 5.0e0) may return the xs:integer 5 or the xs:double
        5.0e0.
        
      * fn:max(3,4,"Zero") raises an error [invalid argument to
        aggregate function].
        
      * fn:max(fn:current-date(), xs:date(2001-01-01) typically returns
        the current date.
        
      * fn:max("a", "b", "c") returns "c" under a typical default
        collation.
        
They should be written as follows:
        
      * fn:max((3,4,5)) returns 5.
        
      * fn:max((5, 5.0e0)) may return the xs:integer 5 or the xs:double
        5.0e0.
        
      * fn:max((3,4,"Zero")) raises an error [invalid argument to
        aggregate function].
        
      * fn:max((fn:current-date(), xs:date(2001-01-01))) typically
        returns the current date.
        
      * fn:max(("a", "b", "c")) returns "c" under a typical default
        collation.
        
        
Similar changes are required for fn:max. fn:sum and fn:avg examples are
OK.
