Subject: RE: [xsl] XQuery Updates in XSLT From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 09:47:58 -0000 |
I don't think that every feature that appears in XQuery has to be in XSLT and vice versa: just because you can do something with your hammer doesn't mean you have to be able to do it with your screwdriver as well. XQuery badly needed in-situ update because it does not have the ability to make small changes to a document using the "modified identity template" coding pattern. The idea of in-situ updates leads to a lot of architectural complexity, especially in a non-database environment. I think XSLT is likely to stick to the basic model of transforming an input document to create an output document.
