--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
Thank you for this usability feedback on the specification.

After some consideration, the working group decided that a good part of the
requirement could be met with a new function 

map:find($input as item()*, $key as xs:anyAtomic) as array(*)

which searches $input recursively looking into contained maps at any depth to
find an entry with key $key, and returning the associated values as members of
the result array.

This clearly doesn't satisfy all these examples but we felt it had the right
blend of simplicity and capability, given how close we are to finishing. New
syntax at this stage was felt to be far too risky. 

The WG has approved an outline sketch of the specification and will move on to
consider the final proposed specification.
