There are two rationales for this: (a) to allow boolean values to be used in AVTs and shadow attributes, for example <xsl:param name="terminate" as="xs:boolean"/> <xsl:message terminate="{$terminate}"/> <xsl:param name="streamable" as="xs:boolean" static="yes"/> <xsl:mode _streamable="{$streamable}"/> (b) consistency with XML Schema This bug is being raised to record this decision. 108931 1 abel.braaksma 2014-07-15 01:34:21 +0000 There is a small, but possible compatibility issue with AVTs (not for static attributes, as they would not compile). The incompatibility is that an AVT with a wrong dynamic value would raise a dynamic error for true|false or 0|1. It is probably only an issue where a rigorous testing framework is meant to test such situations and expect them to fail, where in XSLT 3.0 they would now succeed. Not a big compatibility issue, but we might want to mention it nevertheless. 108952 2 abel.braaksma 2014-07-15 16:22:30 +0000 Closing the bug per the answer from Michael Kay in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2014Jul/0025.html (member only), saying that for changes that resolve error-conditions, there is no need to express the compatibility issues. 109787 3 mike 2014-08-02 14:00:55 +0000 The change has been applied to the spec.
