SECTION 9.4.13: fn:get-timezone-from-dateTime

It says "Returns the timezone component of $arg.
The result is an xdt:dayTimeDuration...".  This is not
quite correct, since the return type is "xdt:dayTimeDuration?" .
What you mean is, "Returns the timezone component of $arg, if any.
If $arg has a timezone component, then the result is ....
Otherwise the result is ()."  Similar remarks apply to
9.4.17 fn:get-timezone-from-date and 9.4.21 
fn:get-timezone-from-time.
