(IBM-FO-039): Sections 15.3.3 (fn:max) and 15.3.4 (fn:min): These sections say that "$arg must contain only items of a single type or one of its subtypes for which the gt operator is defined." This would seem to prevent (for example) finding the max of two values of type xs:long and xs:short, even they are both derived from xs:integer which has a gt operator. It would also prevent finding the max of two values whose types are both derived from xs:string. I do not think this is intended. I think you mean to say that "all the items in $arg must either be numeric or be derived from a common base type that has a gt operator." Similarly, Section 15.3.5 (fn:sum) says that "The input sequence must contain items of a single type or one of its subtypes." Again, this would prevent finding the sum of two values of type xs:long and xs:short. The rule should be restated to accept all numeric values. --Don Chamberlin
