Re: [xsl] XSLT 2.0: Schema-aware processor: What are the compelling advantages over a non-SA processor?

[Justin Johansson <procode@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I retract my remark:
"So this may be compelling enough to use Saxon-SA and get the schema
awareness advantages as well.

The Saxon-SA extention saxon:function() is not sufficient in itself to
dynamically create functions
in XSLT, either by functional composition, currying, or other dynamic methods.

Apologies to the list.


Hi all,

Although this is not general to all SA processors, I just found out that
the Saxon-SA
schema aware processor has the following feature :-

"Saxon-SA includes support for higher-order functions.
See the description of saxon:function for details.
Higher-order functions enable full functional programming capability in
XSLT and XQuery, allowing complex algorithms to be expressed concisely."

So this may be compelling enough to use Saxon-SA and get the schema
awareness advantages as well.

Cheers
