The only annoyance is that I have to remember to remove the fn:trace()
function calls once debugging is complete!


The specification does not state it literally, but the fn:trace function is 
listed under "3.2 Diagnostic tracing" and its destination and output format are 
implementation dependent, so one would guess that an XPath processor would give 
you an option to switch tracing on and off from the commandline or through 
other means (if switched off, it becomes a no-op). This would be similar to 
xsl:assert in XSLT 3.0, for which a processor must provide a means to switch it 
on or off.

Alternatively, you could redirect the output to a trace listener that does 
nothing if in release build.

Cheers,
