Issue: xqueryx-operator-syntax, priority: 3, status: open This issue asks for comments on the <xqx;[sic]infixOp/> <xqx;[sic]opType>+</xqx:opType> syntax. Unless I missed something the syntax could be improved by simply dropping all mention of infixOp. All operators are infix apart from unary plus and minus aren't they? The stylesheet already has to special case unary +/- to use "+" or "-" symbols, so it could special case them to be non-infix at the same time. It isn't clear to me that an xqueryx document needs to record the infix nature of an operation which is part of the concrete syntx of xquery not part of the logical expression tree. David
Thanks for your comment. This subject has been discussed by the WGs previously, but your comment causes us to reconsider the issue. When a decision has been made, we will provide a further response.
The XML Query Working Group has considered this comment and agrees with it. The WG has decided to eliminate the <infixOp/> element from the XQueryX schema and from the examples.

Or, if you do not agree with this resolution, please add a comment explaining why. If you wish to appeal the WG's decision to the Director, then also change the Status of the record to Reopened. If you wish to record your dissent, but do not wish to appeal the decision to the Director, then change the Status of the record to Closed.
