I am a bit unhappy ignoring multiplicity on this one; if multiplicity is allowed the XPath expression should return all of the values in a collection. We do have a couple of functions that are willing to do things with a list of values; but I expected when we started working with multiplicity we would get more. You should ask for a second opinion on this one I may be being a bit to exacting on what is a pragmatic approch (treating a list of 1 as as a single entry). What you describe is similar to the Perl practice of being magic about converting a list to a single entry depending on context. However is there not an XPath syntax to explicitly grab the first thing out of a list? I am not going to have a chance to get to look at GEOT-2528 until next weekend; we should ask another admin to help out on this one.
