Hello Axel,

> could you give me an example of a non-commutative aggregate?

The example is any report generator, such as traditional XMLAGG
aggregate that makes an XML tree from its descendants.

> Would we also allow aggregates with arityy different to 1 (like common in functions) e.g. agg-uri(?X ?Y)

That's absolutely required for statistical calculations of all sorts,
from regression to likelihood detection.

Best Regards,

Ivan.
