(IBM-XQ-022) The following parts of the XQuery document depend on the ability to cast any atomic value into a string: (a) Section 3.7.1.1, Direct Element Constructors--Attributes, Rule 3b. (b) Section 3.7.1.3, Direct Element Constructors--Content, Rule 1d. (c) Section 3.7.3.1, Computed Element Constructors, Content Expression Rule 1. At present, the Functions and Operators document does not permit a QName to be cast into a string. It is clearly not acceptable to be unable to construct any element or attribute that contains a QName. This inconsistency between the XQuery and Functions and Operators documents needs to be corrected. Note that casting a QName into a string is also required by the Serialization document, as noted in comment IBM-SE-015. --Don Chamberlin
