Description Sandy Gao 2007-06-21 17:19:30 UTC 
In the section labeled "deref() XPath Extension Function", it's not clear what deref() should return when a reference matches multiple targets. Whether none is returned, the first one is returned, any one is returned, or an error occurs.

Resolution to fix as per Sandy's sml reference proposal http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2007Sep/0268.html
