[basex-talk] fn:serialize() behaviour

29 Jan 2019

      Hi,

This is probably a non issue, but I thought I should report it anyway. I 
was playing around with serialization options today and I noticed that:

let $head := <head></head>
let $body := <body></body>
return serialize(($head, $body), map { "method": "html", "version": "5.0"})

will return

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head></head>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body></body>

I don't think fn:serialize() is defined in the xquery spec so it's 
implementation specific so I guess it also could be correct :)

Also I have a question, I remember in the past a discussion about need 
for extra testing (XQuery spec wise) in BaseX? Is this still an issue? 
Hopefully I can find some time and help outwith that.

Regards,

George
