I recently needed to do set difference operation in a 2.0 stylesheet, using Saxon 9 (basic version). I was a bit surprised to find that Saxon reported, "Unknown system function except()".
The F&O spec defines this function (http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-except). Could you please tell, why this built in function not implemented in Saxon 9.
As a workaround, I had to resort to $seq1[not(. = $seq2)] ...
