Subject: [xsl] XPath is NOT a functional language From: Colin Paul Adams <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 30 Mar 2004 08:52:29 +0100 |
I don't no whether to be amused or appalled (I incline to the later), to see this near the beginning of the XPath 2.0 draft: [Definition: XPath is a functional language, which means that expressions can be nested with full generality. ] SINCE WHEN? If a function definition were an expression, then this statement would be true, but you can't even define functions in XPath, let alone pass there definitions around. Nor can you pass a QNAME to stand for the function definition either. -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
