That leaves || open for example to be used to indicate parallelism... 13852 1 pcase 2007-01-31 13:27:19 +0000 The possibility of changing from &&, ||, ! was raised previously in Bug 1630. It's resolution follows: ---- The Full-Text Task Force (FTTF) was advised that it could not change "&&", "||", "!" in XQuery and XPath Full-Text to "and", "or", "not" without producing conflicts with XQuery. At the last Face-to-Face, the FTTF decided not to change from "&&", "||", "!" to "ftand", "ftor", "ftnot". The majority of the FTTF prefers the symbolic notation. The FTTF realizes that the ampersands will need to be escaped if a query is placed in an URL, but considers that manageable. --- I have a great deal of sympathy with changing to ftand, ftor, ftnot. I think that the words are understandable on their face, where the symbols require explanation. That escaping problem would be an easily available complication. If || may have a more predictable and expected application, I think we should reconsider the use of &&, ||, ! once more. 14240 2 pcase 2007-02-26 16:15:00 +0000 The FTTF agreed to make this change at the F2F in New Orelans.
