Description Michael Kay 2008-12-10 12:16:00 UTC 
In the XQuery 1.1 draft dated 3 Dec 2008, the grammar has

[40]    	FLWORExpr 	   ::=    	InitialClause IntermediateClause* ReturnClause
[41]    	InitialClause 	   ::=    	ForClause | LetClause | WindowClause

but the prose says (last para before 3.8.1)

"The initial clause in a FLWOR expression may be a for, let, window, or count clause."
Comment 1 John Snelson 2009-02-17 18:56:00 UTC 
The WG agreed to remove the CountClause from the InitialClause - the prose obviously needs updating in line with the grammar.
Comment 2 Jonathan Robie 2009-02-23 20:05:48 UTC 
You're right, my bad. I'll fix it.
