5700 2008-05-19 18:41:04 +0000 [UPD] Updating expressions should not raise XPST0005 2008-06-03 17:39:30 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified XPath / XQuery / XSLT Update Facility Candidate Recommendation PC Windows XP CLOSED FIXED P2 normal --- 5646 1 chamberl andrew.eisenberg public-qt-comments oldest_to_newest 20156 0 chamberl 2008-05-19 18:41:04 +0000 During the analysis phase, err:XPST0005 is raised if any expression other than () or data() has a static type of empty-sequence(). But all updating expressions return empty sequences, and we do not want all updating expressions to be static errors. In the Update spec, Section 4 (Static Typing Feature) should state that err:XPST0005 does not apply to updating expressions. 20365 1 chamberl 2008-06-03 17:39:17 +0000 The Query working group discussed this bug report on 3 June 2008 and agreed with the suggested change. The Update spec will specify that updating expressions, although they return empty sequences, are not static errors. Don Chamberlin (for the Query Working Group.)
