[xquery-talk] Parse error - please help!

[Priscilla Walmsley]

Hi,

I'm copying this back to the list....

Saxon 8.1.1 can parse the query you have below.  Perhaps either your
processor is buggy, or it supports some previous version of XQuery.
Unfortunately, since the error message is vague, it's hard to tell which it
is.
