Therefore I would propose: array:join($array as array(*)) as xs:string array:join($array as array(*), $separator as xs:string) as xs:string array:concat($arrays as array(*)*) as array(*) 128267 1 mike 2016-11-30 17:19:57 +0000 Provisional personal response: Thanks for the feedback but I fear it is too late now to make cosmetic changes like this; the cost of making the change exceeds any benefit. 128268 2 josh.spiegel 2016-11-30 17:28:07 +0000 Yes, thank you for the feedback. I might have also preferred "concat" but I think "join" is OK and I agree with Mike that the cost of making this change is not justified at this point. 128290 3 mike 2016-12-06 16:21:34 +0000 The WG decided to close this as "works for me" on the basis that it's too late to be making such changes.
