Description Michael Kay 2006-03-18 23:25:52 UTC 
For error XTDE1035 and elsewhere we use the wording:

[ERR XTDE1035] It is a non-recoverable dynamic error if the collation URI specified to xsl:sort (after resolving against the base URI) is a collation that is not recognized by the implementation.

This could be better phrased. If I don't recognize the URI, how do I know whether it refers to a collation?

Applies also to [ERR XTDE1110].

It's done better for xsl:key (but note that in this case, the collation must be known statically):

[ERR XTSE1210] It is a static error if the xsl:key declaration has a collation attribute whose value (after resolving against the base URI) is not a URI recognized by the implementation as referring to a collation.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2006-03-24 23:40:37 UTC 
The XSL WG accepted the proposal to improve the wording of this error message.
