            Bug ID: 28862
           Summary: [XP30] and [XP31] ordering mode (under simple map
                    operator) is undefined
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT

Under 3.15 (XP31) and 3.14 (XP30) Simple Map Operator (!) the spec for both
editions says:

<quote>
If ordering mode is ordered, the returned sequence preserves the orderings
within and among the subsequences generated by the evaluations of E2; otherwise
the order of the returned sequence is implementation-dependent.
</quote>

I can't find "ordering mode", "order mode" or similar terms defined anywhere
else in the spec. What definition or statement does it refer to and/or what
defines whether the ordering mode is ordered or not for the selection in the
expression?

Filed under XP31 so that it gets on the agenda, but applies equally to both
XP30 and XP31.
