thanks.

There is a CICM 2008 paper, but I gave one in my response to Lars.

We have an implementation of the language and (at some point had)  even
an XSLT that generated XSLT from them.

I think that this is the case for extension I showed, but in general,
the equality rules in the target CD can be undecidable (though we
probably want to somehow forbid this).

No, I to not think that the motivation comes form type theory, but from
Math, where we use argument sequences as a primitive langauge feature
all the time; unfortunately OpenMath can only partially deal with that
without a sequence extension.

Yes but there is no change wrt. OM2.

Thanks for your comments.
