One might expect that the tests in the fn-collection series (for example,
fn-collection-4) (in CVS) would be testing the fn-collection function. In fact,
they don't call the fn-collection function. What they appear to be doing (it's
not actually documented) is that they expect the test driver to build a
sequence containing a number of document nodes, and to supply this sequence as
a parameter to the query. They are testing the ability to supply a sequence of
document nodes as the value of a parameter, not testing the fn:collection()
function. A product can pass these tests without actually supporting the
fn:collection() function, provided that sufficient work is done to implement
the necessary code in the test driver.
