Function equivalence: comparing the captured context
Pull request #2890 created #created-2890
2872 Refine supports-dtd option
Splits the supports-dtd option into supports-dtd-validation and supports-dtd-attribute-typing on the grounds that some commonly used XML parsers (for example the Microsoft .NET parser) support one and not the other.

Fix #2887
Issue #2888 created #created-2888
Function equivalence: comparing the captured context
The current equivalence rules require a processor to work out which components of the captured focus a function body can actually observe. This can become fairly expensive and will only be required for edge cases, like function items that capture different focuses yet always return the same result. An example:
1 ! fn:last#0
2 ! fn:last#0
I believe that comparing the captured focus as a whole makes the rules simpler. A processor will still be allowed to recognize those cases.
Issue #2887 created #created-2887
The xsl:iterate Instruction - Example contains invalid JSON data
XSLT Specification 7.2 The xsl:iterate Instruction - Example
The example data contains lines like this:
{ "date": "2008-09-01", credit: 12.00 },
Saxon 13.0 produces this when using the data: FOJS0001 Invalid JSON input on line 2: Property name must be a string literal (found <UNQUOTED_STRING>
Invalid JSON input on line 2: Property name must be a string literal (found <UNQUOTED_STRING>
Should I raise an issue with Saxonica about the missing closing ) in the error?
Pull request #2886 created #created-2886
1459 Function properties and arities
Summary of the most important changes:
- I have removed the explicit listing of the default function properties both in the code as well as in the rendered representation (deterministic, context-independent, focus-independent); they are stated once in a new sectin §1.5.4.
- The arity prose has been changed to a single sentence naming the omitted argument, for example: “If
$nodeis absent, this function is context-dependent and focus-dependent.” - Various wrong statements were fixed (
fn:format-integer,fn:format-number,fn:civil-timezone, fn:contains-subsequence,fn:load-xquery-module,fn:in-scope-prefixes`, and others). - Functions like
fn:transformnow name the component they depend on.
Closes #1459
Issue #1920 closed #closed-1920
(Non)determinism of operations that generate functions
Pull request #2885 created #created-2885
2849 xs:integer vs. restricted subtypes
In this PR, numeric specific subtypes are changed back to the general xs:integer (see #2849 for the rationale).
It also fixes an inconsistency in the CSV rules…
parsed-csv-structure-record?column-index was map(xs:string, xs:integer) with the prose “column positions (as 1-based positive integers)”, while ?get in the same record type uses xs:positiveInteger.
…and it now allows users to also supply negative input for fn:unix-dateTime (similarly: “If the value is out of range …”).
Issue #2884 created #created-2884
Further issues with the schema for XSLT
Transferred from #2837
Thanks very much for these changes! Of course I have a few small comments:
To answer your question, the constructor attribute was (and is) missing from the xsl:record-type element. Sorry I wasn't more specific. xsl:item-type allows mixed content, but I don't think it should. xsl:item-type has an assertion requiring the "as" attribute, but the spec says it's optional. The shadow attribute "_main_module" has two underscores, but it should be "_main-module" with an underscore then a hyphen. (This is a new one) xsl:merge-key is in the substitution group for xsl:instruction but I don't think it should be. Looks like I'm not able to reopen this issue...please let me know if you'd like me to create a new issue.
Thanks again!
