I would still prefer the shorter "=". Yes, it is an XPath operator,
but it is just a regular character in a string for XPath in this case.
There's no ambiguity.

Then the pure positional and mixed invocations will also have a very
straightforward form:

exsl:call('my:func', '=Value1", '=Value2')

and, respectively:

exsl:call('my:func', '=Value1", '=Value2' 'Name3=Value3')
