The XML node in a sequence that is last in document order

Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
The functx:last-node function returns the node in the sequence that appears last 
in document order (regardless of their order in the sequence). If nodes in the 
sequence are from multiple documents, the choice of which document is last is 
implementation-dependent.
