Description Michael Kay 2009-03-12 23:51:36 UTC 
Appendix C.1, describing the static context, fails to mention that the in-scope function signatures also includes constructor functions for user-defined atomic types in an imported schema. These are described in section 3.12.5.
Comment 1 Michael Dyck 2009-03-13 01:26:18 UTC 
On the row for 'function signatures', under "Can be overwritten or augmented
by a query?", after
    "augmentable by module import"
we could insert
    ", by schema import,"
(Ditto in appendix C.2.)

However, people will wonder how a schema import can add functions,
so we might also want to say something in 4.10 Schema Import. E.g.:
    Also, for each user-defined atomic type (if any) in the schema,
    it [the schema import] adds a constructor function [see 3.12.5]
    to the 'function signatures' and 'function implementations'.

Comment 3 Jim Melton 2009-03-20 02:00:16 UTC 
In their teleconference of 2009-03-17, the WGs accepted the proposal in comment 1. Consequently, I am marking this bug RESOLVED/FIXED.  Because you were present and in agreement with the decision, I presume that you will be comfortable that I am also marking it CLOSED.
