Subject: [xsl] Transitive closure for XPath From: Christian Nentwich <c.nentwich@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 15:58:04 +0100 |
Dear all, something I really lose sleep over is the lack of a transitive closure function in XPath. I use XPath standalone, outside XSLT and I need such an operator (to compute the set of all parent classes of a class in XMI, for example). Would you please comment on a little proposal I have written - includes an implementation of the operator for Xalan as a freebie: http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/c.nentwich/closure/ Just imagine what this operator could do for *your* family tree XSLT stylesheet. Am I the only one who finds this (extremely) useful ? Please comment. Also, is anyone from the XPath WG reading this ?
