Notes on the Saxon implementation
Available since Saxon 9.4. Currently in namespace
http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/map. Available in XSLT, XPath, and
XQuery, whether or not 3.0 is available.
Although not documented, the implementation in 9.5 accepted a collation URI as the second argument. This has been dropped in Saxon 9.6.
Since May 2014, this function has been dropped from the XSLT 3.0 Specification, and replaced by the new function map:merge(), which is implemented since Saxon 9.6.
