Description Jonathan Robie 2010-02-18 15:40:44 UTC 
Polymorphism and Generics make it much easier to organize function libraries. We already use Polymorphism in our own F&O library. We should consider both of these for future versions of XQuery.

Some discussion of a potential design here:

Comment 2 Paul Ryan 2012-08-07 18:39:34 UTC 
I also see a use for this in the ability to stack business logic where needed on top of library sets of XQuery I think this would take the language to the next level in usability and can definitely see ways we can use it at InfoTrust Group. Thanks for looking into this. 

Also we could probably provide some user stories for this if that helps.

Assigning to future requirements per Working Group decision (https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-query/2012Oct/0087.html).
