Michael, consider the following query. declare function local:foo($v1 as xs:string?, $v2 as empty-sequence()) { $v1 = $v2 }; local:foo('abc',()) I know, this is not the typical query a user would write. Actually, we ran into this problem through some machine generated query by our product. Saxon 8.6 reports incorrectly the following error(same behaviour with previous versions) at compilation time: XPTY0004: Cannot compare xs:string to empty() As editorial remark, some parts of the code seem still to use 'empty()' iso empty-sequence(). Thanks, Marc
