Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT 2.0 *and* XSLT 1.0 validation -- how to? From: Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2004 03:59:41 -0700 (PDT) |
I wonder why version attribute is there in XSLT in the first place. In most of the languages known, like Java or C++, the programmer never specifies language version number in his/her program. The compiler or interpreter judges whether the syntax is valid.. Would it not make life simpler for XSLT programmer, if there is no version attribute.. The compiler/interpreter should take care of the syntax validity?
