Arg, my offline copy of the internal draft of XQuery was not up-to-date. Note to myself: always double-check the latest version when you write emails while traveling abroad... (note also I am pleased to hear that, because I was going to ask to reopen this, as it makes more sense to me as it is defined now :-P)
Sorry for the confusion. Regards,
