Alain: I have the same question about the meaning of the word 'data'

Alain: In xpath the data function yields the text

Steven: Ah, the meaning of the word 'data'.
… any suggestion on how to improve it?
… use 'content'?

Alain: Is an element 'content'?

Steven: Sure, why not?

Alain: Maybe because of the data function, misleads

Steven: How about adding 'data' to the glossary?

Alain: Works for me.

ACTION: Steven to add 'data' to glossary

Erik: Otherwise, I think it's fine, with the addition of the example.

Alain: What if the types don't match.

Steven: Let's add an explicit dispatch of output-error in that case.
