RE: [xml-dev] Serialization of XDM - Use cases / Proposal

David

I do not see in this spec where it defines the serialization of a sequence.
I was not talking about concatenating "nodes" but rather concatenation of
text from a sequence after it was serialized.

This is a case, if I'm reading it properly, where the current XDM 
Serializaiton spec may serve perfectly.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization/

That would concatenate the result nodes such that it is serialized 
equivalently to an external entity.
