Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLT 3.0: Question about: Disabling dynamic evaluation unconditionally From: "Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2015 18:20:19 -0000 |
Hi Wolfgang and Eliot, My confusion stems from the fact that the XSLT processor itself cannot "make a decision" to turn off an implemented feature permanently. Something/someone has to ask the processor (for example via a configuration file) to do so. Therefore, I suspect that this text means: "A processor should provide a way for a user/organization to turn off dynamic-evaluation permanently" But still it is better for this to be specified clearly so that readers should not have to make guesses. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev On Sun, Feb 15, 2015 at 10:12 AM, Wolfgang Laun wolfgang.laun@xxxxxxxxx <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Dimitre, > > to me, the first paragraph in 10.4.4 seems to say the same thing, in > slightly different (but clearer) words.
