This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the section labeled "deref() XPath Extension Function", it's not clear what deref() should return when a reference matches multiple targets. Whether none is returned, the first one is returned, any one is returned, or an error occurs.
Resolution to fix as per Sandy's sml reference proposal http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sml/2007Sep/0268.html
