This happens when the element containing the sequence constructor is xsl:analyze-string, xsl:apply-imports, xsl:apply-templates, xsl:break, xsl:call-template, xsl:catch, xsl:choose, xsl:fallback, xsl:for-each, xsl:for-each-group, xsl:fork, xsl:if, xsl:iterate, xsl:matching-substring, xsl:next-match, xsl:non-matching-substring, xsl:on-completion, xsl:otherwise, xsl:perform-sort, xsl:sequence, xsl:try, or xsl:when. </quote> This list contains items that cannot contain a sequence constructor. Also, xsl:template is not in the list, while it *can* contain a sequence constructor. What is more, it has the same semantics with the "as" attribute, but is not mentioned in the first bullet (which only talks about variables). Items that, I think, do not belong in this list: - xsl:apply-imports - xsl:apply-templates - xsl:call-template Items that, I think, should be added are: - xsl:template (perhaps in its own bullet) - xsl:sort - xsl:on-empty - xsl:on-non-empty - xsl:where-populated (not sure this is complete) 124930 1 mike 2016-02-09 09:24:27 +0000 I agree, the list is incomplete/incorrect. I'm inclined to replace it with a "for example" and a much shorter list; and also to add something that makes it clear the whole section is essentially tutorial/introductory: the definitive statement as to what happens to the result of a sequence constructor belongs with the spec of the containing element. 125043 2 mike 2016-02-15 14:45:35 +0000 Resolution: as suggested, (a) don't try to make this list complete, make it an example, and (b) make it clearer that this section is expository. 125158 3 mike 2016-02-19 12:14:51 +0000 The change has been applied.
