[xsl] Re: XSLT 3.0: What is the default visibility of a package component inside the declaring package ?

["Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The rules are given here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#element-expose

The visibility depends on both the visibility attribute of the component, and
the rules in the package's xsl:expose declarations. If neither apply, the
default visibility is private.

The visibility of a component affects whether it can be used in a different
package. Components can always be used within the package in which they are
declared.
