Correct behaviour of map:merge for same keys

Added by Thomas Fischer about 8 years ago

Hi, I'm struggling with the same key behavior for map:merge The Saxon documentation at http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/#!functions/map/merge says: [...] W3C Specification introduce a significant change [...] to take the value from the first map containing that key.

The W3C Spec at https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#func-map-merge says: The associated value for each such key is taken from the last map in the input sequence [...]

Also, the Saxon documentation mentions an @$options argument@ which doesn't appear in the W3C specs.

Am I just looking into the wrong spec?

salute Thomas
