29666 2016-05-26 15:21:32 +0000 [XSLT30] Stylesheet level definition may need updating or clarification 2016-10-06 18:42:31 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XPath / XQuery / XSLT XSLT 3.0 Candidate Recommendation PC Windows NT CLOSED FIXED P2 minor --- 1 abel.braaksma mike public-qt-comments oldest_to_newest 126582 0 abel.braaksma 2016-05-26 15:21:32 +0000 The current definition of "stylesheet level" is: [Definition: A stylesheet level is a collection of stylesheet modules connected using xsl:include declarations: specifically, two stylesheet modules A and B are part of the same stylesheet level if one of them includes the other by means of an xsl:include declaration, or if there is a third stylesheet module C that is in the same stylesheet level as both A and B.] This does not reflect what happens with used packages. I think these are on the same stylesheet level (if P uses Q and Q includes R then declarations in P, Q and R are all in the same stylesheet level, even though Q and R may have components that are invisible to P). Furthermore, I think it would be clarifying if we say something like "Note: if A imports through xsl:import B, then A is not on the same stylesheet level as B.". I'm not sure whether the definition itself should be updated, but it may help to clarify the relation between include/import/use-package. 126583 1 mike 2016-05-26 15:31:16 +0000 We should probably clarify that a "level" is a subset of a package. There's a containment hierarchy: a module is part of a level and a level is part of a package. Two modules in different packages therefore can't be in the same level. That's implicit in the current definition but it could be made more explicit. 126605 2 mike 2016-05-27 10:30:59 +0000 I have added the following note in the hope that this removes any possible confusion: <note diff="add" at="T-bug29666"><p>A stylesheet level thus groups the declarations in a package by import precedence: two declarations within a package are in the same stylesheet level if and only if they have the same import precedence.</p></note> 126655 3 mike 2016-06-02 19:47:13 +0000 The WG decided to close the bug accepting the added note as sufficient clarification (but not without considerable discussion straying into the dangerous territory of the identity of stylesheet modules.)
