This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
An issue arose from the design of the test suite, as to how the test catalog should document the expected outcome of a test that terminates using <xsl:message terminate="yes">. It appeared that the cleanest solution to this question was to allocate an error code to the use of terminate="yes" and treat it as an expected error. The error code allocated is XTMM9000. I have chosen a new "subtype" to reflect the individual nature of this condition. The text to be added to the specification also recognizes that this is not quite like an ordinary error: [ERR XTMM9000] When a transformation is terminated by use of <code>xsl:message terminate="yes"</code>, the effect is the same as when a <termref def="dt-nonrec-dynamic-error">non-recoverable dynamic error</termref> occurs during the transformation. As this change has been agreed by the Working Group I will be immediately marking the issue as FIXED and CLOSED.
