Thanks Christian.
Now it makes sense.
Quite interesting, that "XQuery: More than Just a Query Language"
presentation.

Hi Paul,
Apparently you have to use the name of the function followed by #1 like
this:
let $a := local:someFunc($nodeSet, local:someOtherFunc#1)
But it is unclear to me if this is indeed the right way to do it.
This is called a named function reference. The digit represents the
number of arguments of your function.
I could not find the documentation on using functions as argument on the
Wiki pages.
This is true. Would anyone out there be interested in extending our
Higher Order Functions article [1]?
Here are two external references that may be of interest for you, though:
* The slides of our XML Technologies course (No 4: "XQuery: More than
Just a Query Language", Page 12) [2]
* Priscilla Walmsley’s new book on XQuery [3]
Hope this helps,
Christian
