Hi Florent, thanks for your feedback. >> – have you thought about letting the bit functions operate on >> octets (xs:integer*) instead of base64? > > We already discussed this.

I’m not sure what you mean here, as all binary operators function expect single xs:base64Binary arguments and return a single xs:base64Binary item (except for the bin:shift function, which also allows an empty sequence in the current draft).. Could you give me a little example that demonstrates the problem? Thanks, Christian
