The result of your example expression is as follows: <a> {"abc"}</a> The working group does not believe it is necessary to include this example in the XQuery specification. Since you labeled it as Editorial, I will mark the bug report as Closed. 4402 2 mrys 2005-06-30 22:16:39 +0000 Thanks. I assume that you mean the result is <a> abc</a>. Best regards Michael 4403 3 chamberl 2005-06-30 22:20:17 +0000 Of course you are right. Sorry for the error.
