Description Mary Holstege 2005-05-13 17:20:08 UTC 
The grammar is loose in places, e.g. allowing unaryMinus operators  
to have more than one argument. Switching to elements for operators (see bug 
1401) could allow the grammar to be tightened in this area.
Comment 1 Jim Melton 2005-06-27 00:34:10 UTC 
The Query WG has considered your comment and agrees with it.  A new XQueryX
schema has been developed that uses elements for operators and thus tightens up
the grammar as requested.  When a new edition of the XQueryX spec is published,
we hope that you will review it and, if, you find the changes satisfactory, mark
this comment as CLOSED. 

We appreciate your feedback on the XML Query specifications. Please let us know
if this response is satisfactory. If not, please respond to this message,
explaining your concerns.
