And it can't be 'large-doc' because it's not large-doc, it's large-doc after modification. 15:32:09 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2006Jul/0028.html 15:33:21 Norm: This suggestion makes p:for-each something like a p:output in the sense that it defines a label for its output 15:34:09 Alex: I think an issue we should raise for later is whether there's some grand unification of this and iterating over documents. We should make sure we come back to that. 15:34:32 ...It would be unfortunate if we couldn't extend this to the concept of iterating over sequences of documents 15:35:32 Norm: This example has multiple steps 15:36:10 Norm: You've used the explicit naming of each input and output as opposed to the alternative which was naming though the step name. 15:36:28 Alex: I said no defaults, no magic, no prefixing. 15:37:09 Norm: Ok, so that was a significant part of your proposal. 15:37:19 Alex: In the end, I think it might be very confusing to users. 15:37:23 Norm: I'm inclined to agree. 15:38:10 Alex, are steps systematicaly anonymous ? 15:38:53 Norm: Anything else we should spend time discussing? 15:39:40 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2006Jul/0017.html 15:40:31 Alex: Most interesting bit is the p:url step 15:40:33 http://www.smallx.com/tideinfo/ 15:40:45 http://www.smallx.com/tideinfo-service/ 15:44:08 Alex: The url step performs an http action and possibly massages the result (based on content-type) to produce a well-formed XML result 15:44:24 Alex: The following steps cleanup and filter the result data. 15:45:08 Alex: There's nothing earth shattering here except for the retrieval step. 15:45:36 ...I could have done this through XSLT using document() calls, but that would require XSLT to be able to handle HTML documents 15:47:03 Alessandro: the only thing I see are purely syntactic. What's the best name for these attributes, for example? 15:47:05 Naming is hard. 15:47:54 Alex: The naming issues and not having defaults haven't really been an issue for me. That makes me pretty comfortable with a first-round story that doesn't have any defaults. 15:48:32 -> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2006Jul/0019.html 15:49:00 Alex: The biggest thing to not here are the parameters. 15:49:20 ...There's one input that contains two elements. I'm going to need those lots of times. 15:50:02 ...So I grab them right at the beginning. 15:53:27 Alex: There's a whole question of if you use parameters, where are they available. Is it implicit or explicit? Etc. 15:53:43 Alex: This is a straight-through pipe. In fact it has to stream because the output of the last two steps can blow up to millions of elements. 15:54:49 Norm: Are you making parameters copies or pointers to a document? 15:54:53 Alex: I'm making copies. 15:57:29 Alex: There are two interesting things: I have a bunch of custom steps, how do we deal with those, and I have a need to reuse the inputs to the pipeline at a later part, what's the right way to do that? With parameters? Or an input dependency? And how would that work. 15:57:34 s/work./work?/ 15:58:20 Topic: Any other business? 15:58:24 None. 15:58:50 Scribe apologizes for rather poor minutes this week. 16:00:42 -Norm 16:00:43 -PGrosso 16:00:44 -Rui 16:00:46 -Alessandro_Vernet 16:00:47 -MoZ 16:00:47 -AndrewF 16:00:51 PGrosso has left #xproc 16:00:52 -Michael 16:00:57 alexmilowski has left #xproc 16:04:08 rrsagent, set logs world-visible 16:04:11 rrsagent, draft minutes 16:04:11 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2006/07/13-xproc-minutes.html Norm 16:04:36 Norm, remember to publish the $#@$#@ minutes! 16:05:53 disconnecting the lone participant, Alex_Milowski, in XML_PMWG()11:00AM 16:05:57 XML_PMWG()11:00AM has ended 16:05:59 Attendees were Norm, PGrosso, Alessandro_Vernet, MoZ, Alex_Milowski, AndrewF, Michael, [IPcaller], Rui 16:39:45 Zakim, bye 16:39:45 Zakim has left #xproc 16:40:27 Rssagent, bye 17:44:27 Norm has joined #xproc 18:24:52 Rssagent, quit 18:25:38 Norm, i didn't notice at the f2f that there won't be any telcon in july, is this the case ? 18:25:47 for xls 18:25:53 s/xls/xsl/ 18:40:14 I think so.
