No, Xpath 3.1.4 Function Calls has 2. Each item in the atomic sequence that is of type xdt:untypedAtomic is cast to the expected atomic type. So I think this means that If you use a date function on a string extracted from an untyped input doc, it will be coerced to a date type before calling the function.
