declare namespace test = "http://foo.example/"; declare function
test:imafloat($num as xs:float) as xs:boolean { $num instance of xs:decimal };
test:imafloat(xs:decimal(5)) I don't understand the exception that's getting thrown on
this call: "XPTY0004: Required cardinality of first argument of test:imafloat()
is exactly one; supplied value has cardinality zero or one: Failed to compile
query". Invoking as test:imafloat(5.0) produces the expected result: false.

This isn't just a confusing error message, it's a bug. The query should succeed
(numeric promotion should kick in). I'm investigating and will lodge a bug entry when
I've tracked it down. Michael Kay
