Subject: RE: Future XSLT expansion. From: "Didier PH Martin" <martind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2000 09:48:20 -0500 |
Hi David, David said: Note you can obtain a node set from a variable, but just not from a variable that holds a result tree fragment. Didier replies: Yes, and this is this feature that let me think that maybe the actual specs allow enough latitude to get a node-set from a result tree (without casting but as an inherent feature). But, I was wrong, the actual specs do not allow such latitude. David said: The fact that accessing result tree fragments would be useful is documented in appendix G of the spec. So one assumes they just ran out of time and didn't want to risk including this in the 1.0 version until all issues had been more worked out. David G Features under Consideration for Future Versions of XSLT (Non-Normative) a way to put the text of a resource identified by a URI into the result tree; allow for result tree fragments all operations that are allowed for node-sets; Didier replies: Thanks David, I didn't noticed this note in the appendixes. So, let's hope that this will be in XSLT 2.0. But for now, let's hope that we'll have at least a browser with the full XSLT 1.0 implemented.
