Often these values are being calculated and the static type of the calculation will result in an optionally empty type. Proposed rewording: fn:subsequence($sourceSeq as item()*, $startingLoc as xs:double?) as item()* fn:subsequence( $sourceSeq as item()*, $startingLoc as xs:double?, $length as xs:double?) as item()* Summary: Returns the contiguous sequence of items in the value of $sourceSeq beginning at the position indicated by the value of $startingLoc and continuing for the number of items indicated by the value of $length. If $startingLoc is the empty sequence, the error FORG--99 is raised. If $length is the empty sequence, the result is the empty sequence. More specifically, returns the items in $sourceString whose position $p obeys: ... 5098 1 holstege 2005-07-21 20:45:56 +0000 The working group considered this comment at its meeting today and decided not to accept it.
