The parentheses in the example are wrong, if the 'Operator precedence...' paragraph
is to be believed. If 'and' is of higher importance (precedence) than 'or', then:

a = b or c = d and x = y

will be evaluated as though they were coded:

a = b or (c = d and x = y)

The xpointer example in the 2nd paragraph of the range-to(locset) heading

The xpointer in the example is inconsistent with the explanation in the text. The
explanation only makes sense if the xpointer is:
xpointer(//account/range-to(amount))

5th paragraph

The explanation of the date:day-in-week(string?) prototype is a copy of the preceding
prototype for date:day-of-week-in-month(string?). It should be something like "If the
string argument is present, it returns a number identifying which weekday is present
for the date in that ISO 8601 string. If a date represents the second Friday in a
month and the first day of the week is Sunday, the value is 6. If the argument is not
present, it returns the value for the current date."
