    Agreed.  At this point we should just be sure to spell out the behavior
    when XPath operation raises a static or dynamic error. IT will just
    become Indeterminate one step above - too bad for people who validate
    context data in advance. :)

    Well, yes, that certainly addresses the issue, and I suspect that 
    others have been thinking about it. I certainly have. But, remember 
    when I said that this conversation will cascade? What about the other 
    functions that take strings instead of well defined types? What about 
    the other conversations that would be useful? I've got several dozen 
    functions I'd like to see added, but I held back because I wanted to 
    see 2.0 wrap in a timely manner.
    
    I don't want to see us adding new functions at this point because I 
    don't think we have the time to think carefully about them, and I don't 
    think we'll have the chance to think carefully about which functions to 
    add/change and which to exclude.
