Description Michael Kay 2015-01-12 14:42:42 UTC 
The specification of parse-ietf-date refers (non-normatively) to various RFCs which should be listed in the non-normative references at the end of the document.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2015-01-12 15:08:48 UTC 
Also, this example is obviously wrong:

The expression fn:parse-ietf-date("Wed Jun 06 11:54:45 EST 2013") returns xs:dateTime("1994-06-06T11:54:45-0500").

The year doesn't match.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2015-01-12 22:44:20 UTC 
Also (not strictly editorial, but uncontroversial), the spec fails to say that when the argument is an empty sequence the result is an empty sequence.
Comment 3 Michael Kay 2015-01-16 22:46:41 UTC 
The editorial problems with parse-ietf-date have now been fixed.
