Hello, In section 17.1 Casting from primitive types to primitive types, the fourth paragraph reads: Similarly, casting is not supported to or from xs:anyAtomicType. There are no atomic values with the type annotation xs:anyAtomicType at runtime, although this can be a statically inferred type. The paragraph refers to xs:anyAtomicType which doesn't exist. A typo for "xdt", I guess. I searched for the same typo in XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model, XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators, and XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language, but could not find any. (However, in Formal Semantics there are, I'll submit) I found this because I grepped for the typo in my code -- I myself often trip on this! If you internally have release check-point lists, you could add for example "search for xs:anyAtomicType". Cheers, Frans
Thanks for catching this! I'll fix it.
