Description
The expression /[x,y] is apparently legal in XPath 3.1 -- it should be interpreted as the path / (selecting the root node) followed by an array constructor evaluated with that root node as the context item. (One might imagine an alternative interpretation in which [x,y] is interpreted as a predicate filter, but that doesn't parse.)
Saxon rejects this expression with a syntax error.
The expression /map{a:2} also appears to be legal, and is also rejected by Saxon.
