--- Comment #14 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I do not want F+O discussions of operators such as map:merge to contain any
mention of concepts like "copying" a map or array. It's a meaningless concept
at that level. Specs should be testable, and there is no way of testing whether
map:merge has copied a map or array or not, therefore the spec should have
nothing to say on the subject. Any discussion of identity-based semantics for
maps and arrays must be confined solely to the Update specs, plus if necessary
a permissive enabling statement in the data model to legitimize it.

I don't think the issue is resolved by leaving it to the editors, since I
suspect that different editors will go off in different directions. Therefore
re-opening.
