Subject: RE: [xsl] Better include them in the XSLT 2.0 spec (Was: Re: [xsl] Time for an exslt for 2.0?) From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 22:02:08 +0100 |
> Maybe it's still not too-late for @memo-function and environment > variables in system-property() to be included in the standard XSLT 2.0 I think it's too late for any new features, especially any that require debate. The debate with memo-function would be about whether it actually has any semantics, or is merely a performance hint. Could a conformant processor ignore it? What is the effect on a "creative" function, one that constructs new nodes each time it is called? The debate about environment variables would be whether there is any meaning to the term that's independent of particular computing platforms, and about whether anything we said in this area would have any more substance than saying nothing. If we made a general statement that allowed one implementation to interpret it as meaning operating system variables and another as meaning Java system properties, then we wouldn't have achieved much.
