[xquery-talk] Sequences

[David Lee]

The piece if information you are missing is that sequences dont nest.
They flatten.
(1,2,3) == (1,(2,3)) == (1,((2),(3)) ...
No such thing as sequences inside a sequence  (unlike what you might expect if you thought of them as arrays.

So 
let $a := (1,2,(function(),function()),5,6) ==

(1,2,function(),function(),5,6)

{( assuming you mean a full function declaration )}

$a[3] == function() ... 
$a[3][2] == ()

So can I ever get at $seq[3][2]() ?

(1,2,(function(),function()),5,6)
