14:16:32 [Norm]
-> https://github.com/ndw/test-suite/commit/018adf51bb43edea7c00883818507bea6ddbbf6b
14:17:45 [Norm]
Alex: Alternatively, we could have multiple expected results and the test passes if you match any one of them.
14:18:21 [Norm]
Norm: I agree, but that'd be a bigger change in the test suite.
14:19:12 [Norm]
Alex: I'm fine with this change, but we should consider multiple outputs for the future
14:20:49 [Norm]
-> https://github.com/xproc/test-suite/issues/15
14:21:26 [Norm]
Norm: I propose that we accept the change offered in https://github.com/xproc/test-suite/pull/13

14:25:58 [Norm]
Alex: How far are we going to go, are we going to try to produce tests that test every conceivable variation.
14:26:04 [Norm]
Norm: We're going to go as far as we can.
14:27:18 [Norm]
Henry: I hear Norm saying "it would be a bug if our core processing didn't accept quoted content type parameters", but that doesn't appear to be the problem.
14:27:38 [Norm]
...Alex is suggesting we should normalize these things. If we find places where there was a bug in somebody's step implementation then we should try to make sure that we test that.
14:27:45 [Norm]
...But we can't go and look for all possible bugs.
14:27:54 [Norm]
...What I heard Alex say was that we should actually normalize this.
14:28:11 [Norm]
Alex: I think you misheard me. I think there is an open issue of how we deal with this in general in our test suite for 2.0.
14:28:30 [Norm]
...I think we should consider this carefully so that we have a good test suite without combinatorial issues.
14:28:55 [Norm]
...My question was "should we be trying to be that complete". Norm says "best effort" and I think that's a fine answer.
14:29:30 [Norm]
Norm: I'm happy to have tests for all the cases we think of.
14:29:51 [Norm]
Alex: I've run into this with other test suites.
14:30:05 [Norm]
Norm: I think experience with the 1.0 test suite will improve the 2.0 test suite.
14:30:34 [Norm]
Norm: Coming back around to my question, does anyone object to the proposed change to those two tests?
14:30:38 [Norm]
None heard. Accepted.
14:30:56 [Norm]
-> Requirement “2.3 Align with XPath 3.0 technlogies”
14:31:11 [Norm]
-> -> https://github.com/xproc/specification/issues/30
14:31:31 [Norm]
Norm: I attempted to address part of the 2.3 requirement, removing XPath 1.0
14:31:36 [Norm]
-> https://ndw.github.io/specification/langspec/remove-xpath-10/head/
14:32:18 [Norm]
Norm waffles on a bit about XPath versions...

Alex: How are we going to track the changes? For example, if I wanted to write an upgrade tool, how would I know that two p: functions had been removed.
14:35:23 [Norm]
Norm: I guess there should be a changelog.
14:35:44 [Norm]
Alex: It doesn't have to be in the document.
