This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
XQuery 1.0 Candidate Recommendation (3 November 2005) states that -----8<----- The following features are considered to be at risk: - Static Typing - Modules - Collections and Default Collection - Trivial XML Embedding - Copy-Namespaces Declaration One or all of these features may be removed if implementations of them do not exist at the end of the Candidate Recommendation period. -----8<----- OpenLink Virtuoso Universal Server (www.openlinksw.com) supports modules and collections, including even tricks like importing XQuery modules into XSLT stylesheets and running XSLT from XQuery.
I'm glad to hear that your product supports both modules and collections. It would help us greatly if you were able to run the XQuery Test Suite (http://www.w3.org/XML/Query/test-suite/) and provide us with your results. Our most recent version added tests for modules. When it comes time for us to progress to PR and we consider what to do with "at risk" features, we will consider your statement, similar statements from other implementors, and the test results that we have received. If your agree with this response, then please close this bug report.
We'd like to see these features described in standard, as least as optional features, but not describe it in our own user's guide from the very beginning. Could you please give me a hint, how much time do I have to submit test results before the decision is made?
Closing bug because commenter has not objected to the resolution posted and more than two weeks have passed.
