It might be worth noting that this restriction is already 
present (at least for the array query functions) in 19.7,
and the current proposal for Mantis 958 (EC) clarifies
that restriction.  So it may be sufficient simply to add 
to 11.2.1 something like
   array query functions (subject to some restrictions,
   as described in 19.7)

I haven't looked at the situation for $bits and other
data query functions.
