It seems that you are trying to obtain the scalar product of
two vectors:

X = {x1, x2, ... , xn}

Y = {y1, y2, ... , yn}

X.Y = x1.y1 + x2.y2 + ... + xn.yn


If that is indeed the requirement (and I wasn't able to work it out from the
posting) then it can be done in XPath 2.0 (without any help from FXSL) as

sum(for $i in 1 to count($x) return $x[$i] * $y[$i])

My guess was for the sum of the cross product:

sum(for $a in $x, $b in $y return $a * $b)

...i guess we'll find out at some point
