Hello,

This is maybe intentional, but I find it a bit confusing that error handling for
op:union, op:intersect and op:intersect is defined in XPath 2.0, "If an operand
of union, intersect, or except contains an item that is not a node, a type error
is raised [err:XPTY0004].", while their definitions are in F & O "15.3 Equals,
Union, Intersection and Except."

Should the error handling specification be moved from XPath20 to F & O?


Cheers,
Frans
