Description Michael Kay 2010-07-19 18:11:31 UTC 
Where the result of xsl:iterate is returned from a function or bound to a variable, one often ends up writing

<xsl:on-completion>
  <xsl:sequence select="@param"/>
</xsl:on-completion>

It would aid brevity and consistency if this could be written

<xsl:on-completion select="@param"/>

The proposal is to allow either a select attribute or a contained sequence constructor (but not both).

Approved to go ahead on 23 Sept 2010
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2010-12-01 18:47:04 UTC 
In implementing this change, I decided to make the same change to xsl:break for consistency.
Comment 3 Michael Kay 2011-06-08 21:32:12 UTC 
As this feature is now in the status quo text, I am marking the bug closed.
