This is unfortunate given the existence of the function fn:map. 86357 1 mike 2013-04-18 16:55:00 +0000 The XSL WG reviewed this and considered that there is a strong case for changing the name of the fn:map() function, and would recommend fn:for-each as an alternative name. This is a late change to 3.0 but we feel it is the best way forward. 86566 2 jonathan.robie 2013-04-23 16:04:07 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > The XSL WG reviewed this and considered that there is a strong case for > changing the name of the fn:map() function, and would recommend fn:for-each > as an alternative name.

I would support this change. 86588 3 adam 2013-04-23 17:48:36 +0000 I would also like to raise a question about the order of the arguments to the function, which could be dealt with at the same time as a potential rename of the function - https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21797 87558 4 mike 2013-05-11 08:45:02 +0000 The WGs decided in meeting #538: DECISION: J4.2.5: fn:map will be renamed to fn:for-each and fn:map-pairs will be renamed to fn:for-each-pair. Subsequently in meeting #539, the WGs made a decision on the related bug #21797: Voted for changing order of arguments. The sequence argument will come first. The function argument will be last in all 5 higher order functions.
