Description Per Bothner 2006-09-26 06:19:50 UTC 
The tests fn-dateTime-28, fn-dateTime-29, and fn-dateTime-30 check that fn:dateTime accepts an empty sequence as as an argument.  However, that seems to contract the F&O spec:

5.2 A Special Constructor Function for xs:dateTime
...
fn:dateTime($arg1 as xs:date, $arg2 as xs:time) as xs:dateTime

Note there is no '?' in the prototype.

Yes, the Constructor Functions defiuned in 3.12.5 in the XQuery spec have '?' in their types, but that does not imply a '?' for fn:dateTime function.  (Note that the 3.12.5 functions are in the xs namespace, as opposed to the fn namespace.)

Hey Per:

Thanks for the message.  The Working group recently changed the function signature (fn:dateTime) to include "?".  This change will probably be reflected soon.

Thanks,
Carmelo

I suspected that might be the case.  Thanks for the quick reply.
