    <thetext>The signatures of:

op:subtract-dateTimes
op:subtract-dates
op:subtract-times

all have xs:dayTimeDuration? return type.  Unless I&apos;m mistaken, these functions can never return the empty sequence and should therefore have return type xs:dayTimeDuration,</thetext>

    <thetext>I think you are correct.

Of course, these functions are only an internal formalism so there is no direct effect on users.</thetext>

    <thetext>The WGs agreed today to make the change of removing the &quot;?&quot; from the result type signature of these functions. I am therefore closing the bug report.

    <thetext>For the record, op:subtract-times appears to have the correct signature already; the other two are wrong.
