  Target Milestone: ---

Can we please change the signature of

fn:random-number-generator($seed         as xs:anyAtomicType) as map(xs:string,
item())

to

fn:random-number-generator($seed         as xs:anyAtomicType?) as
map(xs:string, item())

such that a call of fn:random-number-generate( () ) is equivalent to calling
fn:random-number-generator().

in keeping the convention often used in F&O?
