[Bug 28598] [FO31] (editorial) unclarity in description of negative starting position with fn:subsequence

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28598

--- Comment #4 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I suggest we delete notes 3, 4, and 5, and replace them with the following
sentence modelled on what appears for "substring":

The function returns a sequence comprising those items of $sourceSeq whose
index position (counting from one) is greater than or equal to the value of
$startingLoc (rounded to an integer), and (if $length is specified) less than
the sum of $startingLoc and $length (both rounded to integers). No error occurs
if $startingLoc is zero or negative, or if $startingLoc plus $length exceeds
the number of items in the sequence, or if $length is negative.
