Description Frans Englich 2006-06-24 11:23:34 UTC 
The description for FODC0005 reads:

err:FODC0005, Invalid argument to fn:doc.

However, FODC0005 is also used in fn:doc-available(). Here's the cases it's used:

fn:doc(): If $uri is not a valid xs:anyURI, an error is raised [err:FODC0005].

fn:doc(): If the Available documents provides no mapping for the string, an error is raised [err:FODC0005]

fn:doc-available(): If $uri is not a valid xs:anyURI, an error is raised [err:FODC0005].


Possible solutions:
* Change the description for FODC0005 to "Invalid argument to fn:doc or fn:doc-available". I think this is the least intrusive change, and aligns with what currently is specified.
* Allocate a new error code for fn:doc-available(). If detailed error codes are of interest, this is probably an appealing alternative.

I have no preference, I can understand both. Conservatism is understandable, but on the other hand it's neither that intrusive to allocate a new error code.

Thanks!  Fixed by making error description refer to both functions.  Please close.
