The specification says: The result is obtained by casting $arg to an xs:dayTimeDuration (see 19.1.3 Casting to duration types) and then computing the days component as described in 8.1.2.3 Canonical representation. But the specification of casting says: If ST is xs:duration, or a type derived from duration, but not xs:yearMonthDuration or a type derived from xs:yearMonthDuration, and TT is xs:dayTimeDuration, then TV is derived from SV by removing the year and month components from SV. The casting section talks without further explanation about "removing components" of the value, yet it's cited from a function spec that feels a need for a precise definition of what these components are. The simplest solution seems to be to replace the text Otherwise, the function returns an xs:integer representing the days component in the value of $arg. The result is obtained by casting $arg to an xs:dayTimeDuration (see 19.1.3 Casting to duration types) and then computing the days component as described in 8.1.2.3 Canonical representation. with Otherwise, the function returns an xs:integer representing the days component in the value of $arg. Given that the value space of xs:duration consists of ($months, $seconds) tuples, the result is ($seoonds idiv 86400). and similarly for the other X-from-duration() functions. 112385 1 mike 2014-09-29 14:02:22 +0000 The change has been applied.
