(b) The two returned functions (the 'permute' function and the 'next' function) are somewhat informally described. We should be explicit about the function signature, name, and arity of each function as well as describing its effect: next: name: absent parameter names: () signature: () => map(xs:string, item()) implementation: as described in prose non-local variable bindings: none permute: name: absent parameter names: ("arg") signature: (item()*) => item()* implementation: as described in prose non-local variable bindings: none (I've given the argument of permute a name, because for some reason the data model says that function arguments have names, even though there is no way of writing a query that makes use of the fact). 117821 1 mike 2015-02-10 17:38:38 +0000 These editorial changes have been applied.
