Re: [xsl] XQuery Function Annotations... and XSLT

["Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not familiar with XQuery annotations, but in case one needs to
have XPath functions together with other data that is relevant to
them, one way (very schematic -- can further be refined) is to have:

map {
          'Func1Descriptor' : map {
                                                  'annotation': someAnnotation,
                                                  'function': theFunction
                                                 },
          'Func2Descriptor' : map {
                                                  'annotation': someAnnotation,
                                                  'function': theFunction
                                                 },

        .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
        }

Or one can even make the function be only accessible via the
annotation -- which in this case will itself be a map, one of whose
entries' value will be the function.

map {
          'Func1Descriptor' : map {
                                                  'annotation':  map {
'meta':someAnnotationMatter,

          'function': theFunction

         }
                                                 },
         'Func2Descriptor' : map {
                                                  'annotation':  map {
'meta':someAnnotationMatter,

          'function': theFunction

         }
                                                 },
        .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .
        }

Cheers,
