A number of examples in the current draft make use of type="fn". All these should be read as type="function". But note that type="fn" remains perfectly legal since any CDATA string can be a type value. Apart from this there is no need to change these examples. As for the n-ary operators, the current internal draft - soon to be made public -- treats n-ary operators more uniformly. Chapter 4 shows plus is n-ary and can have 0 or more terms. Appendix C talks about sums with 0 and 1 term and more terms.
