Steven: *Really* back to normal next week.
ACTION-2295: Check that his implementation combined @instance and
@targetref correctly
https://
Erik: Continues
Response headers
https://
Steven: Not sure if we need to say any more
Erik: An example in the spec?
Steven: Good idea
Erik: It could be specified to return a document
… it was already in XF 1.1, returning a nodeset
Steven: So we can't change it, because it would make it non backwards compatible
Action: Steven to add an example of using event('response-headers')
<trackbot> Created ACTION-2299 - Add an example of using event('response-headers') [on Steven Pemberton - due 2021-04-02].
Erik: In Orbeon, we do create a document
… it was the easiest thing to do.
Sorting
https://
Steven: It would be good to have something
Erik: XPath 2 doesn't have the tools to do it properly
Erik: You want to have a function that is a parameter.
… Supporting XPath 3 would solve everything
Erik: It is less useful to sort and not be able to specify what you want to sort on
… exforms what did they do
Steven: They used strings, so they had to do an eval()
Steven: Tricky to do it correctly, while future proof...
Erik: We could consider going to XPath 3
… it's a moving target in the sense that they are looking atan XPath 4
Erik: XPath 2 is 2010
… so it's not recent.
Steven: Alain is going to XPath 3
Erik: We are planning to do that as well.
… if we want sort function features, we should open the door to XPath 3.1.
… We could allow implementers to use XPath 3, without excluding XPath 2
Alain: Then we wouldn't need to have a function definition syntax
Steven: Since XPath 3 supports that already...
Erik: XPath 2 introduces sequences, atomic values, and they remain in XPath 3.
… XPath 3 adds maps, arrays and functions
Action: Steven to look at allowing XPath 2 and 3
<trackbot> Created ACTION-2300 - Look at allowing xpath 2 and 3 [on Steven Pemberton - due 2021-04-02].
Erik: We say something in the introduction
ACTION-2296: Add text to make it clear where xforms-action-error is
dispatched to.
https://
https://
Steven: OK with the decision to send xforms-load-error to the handler in the same way as xforms-action-error?
All: Yes
Action: Steven to update load-error to go to the listener.
<trackbot> Created ACTION-2301 - Update load-error to go to the listener. [on Steven Pemberton - due 2021-04-02].
