------- Comment #2 from cmsmcq@w3.org  2008-05-23 23:30 -------
The wording proposal mentioned in comment #1 was discussed and adopted by
the WG at its call of 16 May.  The editors were instructed to make three
changes:  (1) add constructors functions and casts to the minimal subset
for CTA, (2) add a note warning that even with full XPath support, ancestors
and descendants and siblings will not be accessible, as a result of the
trimming of the tree during XDM instance construction, and (3) reformulate
the rules which say, in effect, that the only function calls which fall
into the minimal subset are those for fn:not (and the constructors for the
built-ins).  

These changes have now been made and integrated into the status-quo document;
I'm marking this issue as resolved.  David, as the originator of record,
I'll leave it to you to close it, if you are satisfied with its resolution.
