Subject: [xsl] Re: [xquery-talk] fn:transform running with default call-template invocation - no result-documents created From: "Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2021 22:23:42 -0000 |
Basically, XSLT made some compromises on functional purity with xsl:result-document, which XQuery wasn't prepared to contemplate. The XQuery designers, coming from the database query language tradition, have always put optimisability at the top of their agenda, and that meant that fn:transform() wasn't going to be acceptable if it could have side effects.
