Dear Colleagues,

This comment pertains to the 12 November 2003 internal WD of 
XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language [1].

Please accept our sincere apologies on being past-due with this
submission.

Regards,
David Ezell (on behalf of the XML Schema WG)

XSCH-QL-010 Section 3.5.3 Node comparison.

    4. A comparison with the << operator returns true if the first 
    operand node precedes the second operand node in document order; 
    otherwise it returns false.

    5. A comparison with the >> operator returns true if the first 
    operand node follows the second operand node in document order; 
    otherwise it returns false.

Seems better to use more usual and neutral "left and right operands" 
instead of "first and second" since the natural ordering while reading 
not always is "left-to-right".
