Subject: [2.2] Reference to Tool Behaviour Out Of Scope? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 09 Sep 1998 20:26:28 -0400 |
[2.2] Reference to Tool Behaviour Out Of Scope? I have a suggestion about the relevance of something I read in the http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/WD-xsl-19980818 version of the XSL specification. In Section 2.2 I found this interesting quote: "stylesheet creation tools need not provide control over the order in which the elements occur" I suggest this is out of scope of the specification document and is, indeed, implicit from the first part of the sentence, which reads in whole as: "Users are free to order the elements as they prefer, and stylesheet creation tools need not provide control over the order in which the elements occur." I feel this technology specification should not comment on tool behaviour of tools not related to the _processing_ of XSL (the user interface of a stylesheet creation tool is, in my opinion, unrelated to the processing of that stylesheet). This comment "jumped out at me" (those of you who have known me for a while will remember my feelings :{)} about certain tools not providing control of the order of generated tool output) and I recommend that this phrase be removed. ..............
