Re: Variable number of arguments

2006-01-27 01:28:07
The alternative approach, of representing a variable number of
arguments with one argument - a list typed with the common sub-type of
all the permissable arguments, suffers from loss of static typing
accuracy.

This is not an 1:1 alternative, as one cannot represent as a sequence
a sequence of sequences. So, if the arguments of the function are
sequences, they (all the arguments) cannot be represented as a single
sequence -- a known limitation of XPath 2.0 sequences.
