Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLT 3.0: Question about the rules for handling duplicate declarations of static variables From: "Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 10:43:11 -0000 |
Actually, it should say "functions" rather than "function items" since XDM 3.0 renamed function items as functions. The intended meaning of the phrase is "The value of the variable must not be a sequence one of whose items is a function", or perhaps more formally, if $V is the value of the variable then the expression some $v in $V satisfies $v instance of function(*) must be false. This is because it is not possible to determine whether two functions are "the same" Michael Kay Saxonica mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx +44 (0) 118 946 5893 On 22 Nov 2014, at 22:04, Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > In section 9.6 "Static Variables and Parameters" of the 2nd Last Call > of the XSLT 3.0 specification, > (http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-xslt-30-20141002/#static-params), the > second of the two additional constraints listed, says: > > "... and (b) if the variables are initialized (that is, if the > elements are xsl:variable elements, or if they are xsl:param elements > and no value for the parameter is externally supplied) then the values > of both variables must be identical, and must not contain function > items." > > It is not clear to me what is the exact meaning of the phrase "must > not contain function items".
