The prose additionally says: If there are xsl:use-package elements, these must come before any other elements. If there are xsl:import elements, these must come after any xsl:use-package elements but before any other elements. But we removed the requirement for xsl:import to come first from the grammar and we intended to remove it from the prose (see J.1 item 9(f)). Given our decision on bug #23944, we should reconsider the rule that xsl:stylesheet/xsl:use-package must come first. Also note, these changes to the rules on ordering need to be reflected in the schema for XSLT 3.0 stylesheet modules. 99480 1 mike 2014-01-30 17:56:14 +0000 We might also like to rethink whether we really want to allow xsl:use-package as a child of xsl:stylesheet at all. 100175 2 cmsmcq 2014-02-10 16:35:13 +0000 After some discussion of this in Prague, the WG decided to adopt the proposal implicit in comment 1, and forbid use-package as a child of stylesheet, the rationale being that if a stylesheet author is willing and able to modify the stylesheet module to use a use-package element, the module can also be modified to use a package element. (This also simplifies the treatment of the interaction of import and use-package.) 100328 3 mike 2014-02-11 21:23:02 +0000 The change has been implemented. Note that it interacts with bug #24310. No change was needed to the schema for XSLT because it did not allow use-package anyway. A perhaps unanticipated consequence of the change is that the transformation of a "bare" stylesheet into a package now applies to any stylesheet, without requiring that it contain a use-package element. 100398 4 cmsmcq 2014-02-12 14:02:05 +0000 The WG reviewed the changes described in comment 3 and expressed its content.
