            Bug ID: 21963
           Summary: Implicit iteration on dynamic function calls
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: XPath 3.0

Last year, it was briefly discussed on the ML whether to support dynamic
function calls on sequences of functions (with an implicit iteration).

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-query/2012Sep/0005.html

Zorba does support this, on the grounds that it would be consistent with an
XPath-like navigation on maps (3.1). Having the same behaviour (i) for both
functions and maps/objects and (ii) for both 3.0 and 3.1 would simplify the
implementation.

It would be nice if we could discuss relaxing this in a call, if it is not too
disruptive for the CR period?
