Hi Jens,
You are right about that fn:data() does not do what I need, namely take
an untypedAtomic and return an atomic value in the right type. But
according to the latest revision, I think fn:data() does allow
untypedAtomic as its parameter:
fn:data($arg as item()*) as xs:anyAtomicType*
But I need to find another way to solve this problem.
