Thanks for the tip! I'll most certainly do that (although I fear that "I'd like to be spared of 80% of the spec" is not exactly what the WG would like to hear...).
What you're saying is really food for though: if you of all people are having a hard time "getting your head around" the intricacies of the type system in XSLT 2, what are my (and other, more average Joes' out there) chances? And even if I did take 6 months off for quality time with XQuery semantics and friends, what good would it do me (besides the obvious bragging rights)?
Heck, I can't even quite grasp what that PSVI thingy is supposed to be (it's one of those "almost, but in reality: no" things). Since all the other stuff seems to be built on that, I'll admit that my chances look quite slim.
Thanks again,

Jeni,

I understand your concern. I'm pretty familiar with XML Schema now, but I'm not relishing the prospect of having to get my head around the XQuery Semantics and the XPath/XQuery regulations about how different types are cast to each other -- which casts are possible and which aren't, what kind of durations and date/times I can compare with each other and what it'll mean when I do, and so on -- and the names of all those new functions.
All that I can recommend is that you (and others) write to the comments list (public-qt-comments@xxxxxx) expressing your concerns and preferably giving real examples that demonstrate why it's a concern and recommending changes that would meet your requirements. The WGs can't be blamed for producing bad specs if no one points out why they're bad. And the earlier that the comments are made, the easier it will be for the WGs to change their minds.
