Details
This function takes as input an xs:hexBinary value and the name of a
character encoding (for example UTF8). It interprets the contents of the
hexBinary value as a sequence of bytes representing a character string in a particular
encoding, and returns the corresponding string.
If the first argument is an empty sequence, the function returns an empty sequence.
