29798 2016-08-29 10:28:44 +0000 [XSLT30]Request for clarification on built-in template rules for arrays 2016-09-09 21:45:55 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XPath / XQuery / XSLT XSLT 3.0 Candidate Recommendation PC Windows NT RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 martin.honnen mike public-qt-comments oldest_to_newest 127255 0 martin.honnen 2016-08-29 10:28:44 +0000 In section https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xslt-30/html/#built-in-templates-text-only-copy the text for arrays says: The built-in template rule for arrays (see 27.7.1 Arrays) is to apply templates to the members of the array. It is equivalent to invoking xsl:apply-templates with the select attribute set to ?* (which selects the members of the array)... However, the XSLT snippet given then is <xsl:template match=".[. instance of array(*)]" mode="M"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="#current"/> </xsl:template> Is there a 'select="?*"' missing on the 'xsl:apply-templates'? The same problem occurs in section https://www.w3.org/XML/Group/qtspecs/specifications/xslt-30/html/#built-in-templates-shallow-skip, again the text says: The built-in template rule for arrays (see 27.7.1 Arrays) is to apply templates to the members of the array. It is equivalent to invoking xsl:apply-templates with the select attribute set to ?* (which selects the members of the array)... however, the XSLT snippet given is <xsl:template match=".[. instance of array(*)]" mode="M"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="#current"/> </xsl:template> It seems again a 'select="?*"' missing on the 'xsl:apply-templates'. Or why does the text suggest "the select attribute set to ?*" while the samples don't do that? 127332 1 mike 2016-09-07 23:01:00 +0000 > Is there a 'select="?*"' missing on the 'xsl:apply-templates'? Yes. Thanks for pointing out these typos. 127359 2 mike 2016-09-09 21:45:55 +0000 The corrections have been applied.
