Subject: [xsl] XSL theory questions From: Zak McGregor <zak@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 29 May 2001 13:46:37 +0200 |
Hi all Could anyone please explain a few things to me? 1 - Why the XSL spec does not allow for scoping of variables outside of logical blocks? Would it have been that dificult to have added a scope attribute to the <xsl:variable> declaration so that a variable could be globally scoped? 2 - <xsl:coose><xsl:when>...</xsl:when><xsl:otherwise>...</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose> seems awfully verbose. And slightly redundant, if you consider something like <xsl:if>...</xsl:if> and the possibility of having similar functionality within the <xsl:if> elements. Surely it would be easier to have all tests with <xsl:if> elements, and having that itself inside another element to get the equivalent of the <xsl:when> funcionality without having introduced several elements for similar results?
