Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT Filtering based on defined XML From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 21:54:22 +0100 |
Your first challenge is to specify this more precisely. In early drafts of the XQuery specification there was a function called filter() which was a bit like this, but it got taken out because no-one was able to write a precise specification of what it was supposed to do. Sketching out an example isn't good enough. Start by producing a dozen examples: For example, what output do you want if one of the documents is <a><b/></a> and the other is <b><c/></b> then generalize from the examples to define the actual rules.
