In the XPath 3.0 Proposed Recommendation, section, 3.1.5.3 "Function
Coercion", http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-30/#id-function-coercion
describes the properties of the function returned by the coercion in
the following bulleted list:
* name: The name of F .
* parameter names: The parameter names of F.
* signature: Annotations is set to the annotations of F.
TypedFunctionTest is set to the expected type.
* implementation: In effect, a FunctionBody that calls F, passing
it the parameters of this new function, in order.
* nonlocal variable bindings: An empty mapping.
The third bullet above in particular says:
"signature: Annotations is set to the annotations of F.
TypedFunctionTest is set to the expected type"
My question is: What are function annotations and why they are nowhere
defined in the document?
Note: The XQuery function that is used as example, does not contribute
to making this section more understandable -- on the contrary. Why do
the authors assume that anyone that uses XPath should know XQuery?
