This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
11.4.3, The initial description before the syntax box says Within a sequence constructor, the xsl:value-of instruction can be used to compute generated text. The xsl:value-of instruction computes this text using an expression that is specified as the value of the select attribute. This might, for example, extract text from a source tree or by inserting the value of a variable. This doesn't mention the new possibility of using content rather than a select attribute. (It's debatable whether this makes the second sentence false, or just less true than it could have been) Also (although I wouldn't have reported this one as a problem if not commenting on the first point) it doesn't clarify that "text" means text node here (rather than string). The paragraphs immediately after the syntax box do have the full details, so "correcting" the first paragraph might end up just duplicating the text and it might be better to say less, eg just Within a sequence constructor, the xsl:value-of instruction can be used to compute generated text nodes. Whatever. This is purely editorial and feel free to close this report without needing to ask me (even if your decision is no change) David
I have fixed this editorially by changing the paragraph to read <p>Within a <termref def="dt-sequence-constructor">sequence constructor</termref>, the <elcode>xsl:value-of</elcode> instruction can be used to generate computed text nodes. The <elcode>xsl:value-of</elcode> instruction computes the text using an <termref def="dt-expression">expression</termref> that is specified as the value of the <code>select</code> attribute, or by means of contained instructions</phrase>. This might, for example, extract text from a <termref def="dt-source-tree">source tree</termref> or insert the value of a variable.</p>
Thanks, closing this.
