Would <xsl:map on-duplicates="function($x as item()+, $y){head($x)}"> work? <xsl:map on-duplicates="function($x as item()+, $y){$x[$y]}"> ? (I have no idea why I'd want to do the second one, but it leaps to mind with a required arity of 2.) I have fairly often wanted to group all the examples of something under a key; everything with a date in June, everything with a level depth of three, stuff like that. It'd be extremely convenient if xsl:map/@on-duplicates allowed for this kind of "everything with this key maps under this key" use case. (I've put this in as a comment on github.)
