The / says to put things in document order, but these are all in separate 
"documents" so the relative order is undefined. You can either wrap them in a 
single root element so they are part of the same document with a defined 
relative order, or use the ! operator instead.

Hi all,

Could someone explain why the following xquery randomizes the sequence

---
xquery version "1.0-ml";

(
 <x><a>1</a></x>,
 <x><a>2</a></x>,
 <x><a>3</a></x>,
 <x><a>4</a></x>,
 <x><a>5</a></x>,
 <x><a>6</a></x>
)/a/fn:string()
—

I was expecting 1,2,3,4,5,6 but getting random results.
Is this something to do parallel execution of functions on a sequence ?

ps: tried it in xbase and it gives 1,2,3,4,5,6 all the time.

Thanks,
Szabolcs
