[xquery-talk] strange results sequence operators

Good point (the elements without a common parent arent siblings
gotcha), but I'm not sure that applies here... for example:

let $number1 := <number>1</number>
let $number2 := <number>2</number>
let $number3 := <number>3</number>
let $seq1 :=  ($number1, $number2)
let $seq2 := ($number2, $number3)

return $seq1 except $seq2

That always has to return <number>1</number>... both sequences refer
to same $number2 even it exists in different documents to 1 and 3.
What am I missing?
