I'm sorry, but I don't understand what the *function* fn:unordered
really ought to do.
Consider the also discussed distinct-values example.

<xsl:variable name="a" select="distinct-values((1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1))" />
<xsl:variable name="b" select="fn:unordered($a)" />

What are the values of $a and $b please?


By the way, I just noted the following:
shouldn't the example of distinct-values uses the additional pair of
parentheses?

Instead of 
fn:distinct-values(1, 2.0, 3, 2) returns something
write
fn:distinct-values((1, 2.0, 3, 2)) returns something

Otherwise it would be a call with 4 parameters.
