Subject: RE: XSLT and XPath Recommendations From: "Vun Kannon, David" <dvunkannon@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 12:17:12 -0500 |
Congratulations to James and the WG teams that made this possible. I've already shared my wish list for version 2. Besides filling in the edges of version 1 (all the set operations in the spec, instead of extension functions, for instance), I feel the most pressing driver for v.2 is alignment of XSLT with XSchema, and vice versa. The two specs need to inform each other at a deep level. Regex needs to work the same in each, XPath expressions need to understand the node type hierarchy, etc. I believe that an important use of XSLT/XPath will be to express declarative constraints within an XSchema. Taking an analogy to SQL, XSchema is similar to the data definition sublanguage and XSLT is similar to the data manipulation sublanguage. SQL uses the data manipulation language (SELECT, etc.) inside the data definition language to express constraints such as CHECK constraints and assertions. I hope a consideration of this use will be a factor in the continuing design of the language.
