Pull request #2358 created #created-2358
2357 Standardize on element() rather than element(*)
Fix #2357
Issue #2357 created #created-2357
element() vs element(*) in function signatures
We use element(*) and element() interchangeably in function signatures. I propose we standardise on the simpler form, element().
Ditto attribute().
Issue #2356 created #created-2356
Clarification on scope of variables in xsl:for-each-group/(@split-when|@merge-when)
A user experimenting with xsl:for-each-group/@split-when with my 4->3 source-code transformer, inferred that the variable $group was available within the sequence constructor of the grouping instruction.
(Unfortunately due to an error in my transformer code $group was within scope in the sequence constructor, though with the wrong value ;-) - this has since been corrected.)
A close and detailed reading of the spec shows that $group and $next are implied as only in scope for the evaluation of the @split-when expression. Might I suggest that there is a small note emphasising this is the case? Similar clarification may be worthwhile for @merge-when too.
