```
    Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that will never return newly created nodes, nor a value that depends on the identity of newly created nodes (for example generate-id(new-node())). Expressions that are capable of creating new nodes cannot be moved out of loops as this could cause too few nodes to be created: for example if f() creates a new node, then count(for $i in 1 to 5 return f()) must be 5.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NODESET
```
public static final int SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NODESET
```
    Expression property: this bit is set in the case of an expression that delivers a set of nodes that are all in the same document (not necessarily the same document as the context node).
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - HAS_SIDE_EFFECTS

```
public static final int ALL_NODES_UNTYPED
```
    Expression property: this bit indicates that in the result of an expression, any element and attribute nodes that are present will have type annotation xs:untyped or xs:untypedAtomic respectively, and that any document nodes that are present will have no element children whose type annotation is anything other than xs:untyped
