Description Michael Kay 2017-04-15 18:07:21 UTC 
A Note in 2.3.6.1 states:

Note:

More specifically, the process raises a serialization error if any item in the raw result is an attribute node, a namespace node, or a function (including a map or an array).

This is not quite accurate. Sequence normalization does not raise an error if the sequence contains an array; instead, the array is flattened.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2017-05-04 17:17:19 UTC 
The change was agreed by the WG, and has been applied to the spec.
