Re: [xsl] Map functions in XSLT 3.0 static expressions?

["Abel Braaksma (Exselt)" <abel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

I raised bug #24521 last month against a similar issue, see
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24521.

Though the resolution to that bug does not solve the start the sentence
below, there is overlap in the definition of "core functions" with "The
core functions defined in [Functions and Operators]", which is no longer
true. As the resolution of that bug shows, the math:* and map:*
functions, as well as constructor functions are also allowed.

My take on this is that both math and map functions are allowed, as well
as constructor functions, but not XSLT functions, except for the ones
mentioned in that definition.

I would suggest you to raise a bug against the specification for this
particular instance of the use of the term core functions.

Oh wait, it is already there, I raised it recently in bug #24970:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24970. But it is not
explicit to your specific case. I will add it to that bug.

Cheers,
