Meeting minutes
No Call 21 May
[MarkupUK Conference; next call 28th May]
Steven: I'll be giving my XForms Tutorial
ACTION-2295: Check that his implementation combined @instance and
@targetref correctly
https://
Erik: Ok ok ok
ACTION-2304: Add action-warning event
(Was ACTION-2302: Make load-error an instance of action-error)
https://
Steven: I will close this action now
Close ACTION-2304
<trackbot> Closed ACTION-2304.
ACTION-2300: Look at allowing xpath 2 and 3
https://
Steven: [Reads email]
Erik: XPath 1 compatible?
Steven: If possible
<ebruchez_> https://
Erik: Might be difficult
… the signatures of functions are XPath 2 style
Erik: XPath 1 doesn't have a sequence, only nodeset. Also no empty sequence, just empty nodeset
… it also about what the functions do.
… XPath 2 has more types
… I'm not sure if it is worth it.
… There is a big jump between XPath 1.0 and 2.0
… Unless we're vague, and say "figure it out"
… otherwise make 2.0 the baseline
Steven: OK. I'll look a bit more, and come back, taking your comments into account.
Introspection functions
https://
Steven: [explains email]
Erik: I'd prefer two different functions
Alain: Agree.
Steven: OK, I'll come with a proposal.
Erik: It's probably reasonable
… we have several more in our implementation
Alain: I would prefer a sequence or a document
Erik: If it's a document, all values will be nodes, not values.
… event() returns objects of different type.
… It would make things more complicated.
Alain: It could be a function just returning names
… use map on the property function
Erik: There are many ways of representing. An XML document can represent maps to a degree.
… A document you can insert somewhere, but it also has drawbacks.
ACTION-2303: Add a warning about xpath compatibility
https://
Steven: This has been subsumed in ACTION-2300
Close ACTION-2303
<trackbot> Closed ACTION-2303.
AOB
Steven: See you next week at the conference
Steven: Rather early for you Erik
