Description Abel Braaksma 2014-09-10 23:22:48 UTC 
Under E.1 Normative References, the reference to XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators points to a link different from the text that accompanies it.

The text currently: 
"World Wide Web Consortium. XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators (Second Edition) W3C Recommendation, 14 December 2010. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/."

The link points to http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/. This seems at odds with the text.

While the link resolves and shows the same document, the document itself then says in its header that the latest version is on a different location: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/. Going there shows the same headers again.

I believe these two locations are URLs pointing to the same document, but it is confusing nonetheless, for a moment I thought I entered an outdated document or an XQuery-only specification.

Marked Minor, as I don't think this is of any real consequence, a few clicks further you find out that you're in the right spot after all.
