Subject: Re: [xsl] question about identity transform From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2006 12:32:56 -0500 |
From a user's perspective, how is it helpful to make a distinction between processing order and result order?
It is always helpful to know the truth in advance than to discover it by accident.
If we, as users, can't use the word "process" (because it's reserved for implementation details) then what word do we use?
The word "process" can surely be used -- Where did I hint it couldn't?
We can say that" the nodes selected by the expression as specified the select attribute are *processed" not in any predefined order -- in indeterministic way" ... or "asynchronously", if the latter is more understandable. Both of these definitions of processing mean that there is no specified order.
Cheers, Wendell
