Description Mary Holstege 2006-01-27 19:33:24 UTC 
The grammar constrains the specification of
thesauri, stop word lists, and languages to StringLiteral.
This unnecessarily constrains query construction and 
compositionality.

Proposal:
Change the productions to use ExprSingle rather than 
StringLiteral, and change the accompanying text in sections
3.2 to speak of the expression being castable to the appropriate
type (which, in the case of thesauri and stop word lists should
be xs:anyURI not xs:string in any case).

Note that this also bears on #2483.
Comment 1 Sihem Amer-Yahia 2006-03-06 19:19:47 UTC 
The task force agrees that the thesauri 
names, stop word lists, and languages should be string literals. Note that 
this prevents unioning stop word lists in the query.

Comment 3 Mary Holstege 2006-03-06 20:23:09 UTC 
I'm confused. The comment says to stick with string literals (in which
case I would like some kind of technical justification, please) but the
state is FIXED. So which is it?
Comment 4 Jim Melton 2006-04-06 20:38:16 UTC 
The status has been changed to WONTFIX to reflect the decision of the Task Force.  Sorry for the confusion.
