PR #2031: 2025 JNodes

Pull request #2031 by michaelhkay.

Fix #2025 This is a first draft for review. It includes changes to the data model, functions and operators, and XQuery/XPath. It does not yet include changes to XSLT. It's a big proposal, but I think it removes more complexity from the spec than it adds. It's basically a unification of two concepts, both of which were addressing aspects of the same problem, namely that lookup expressions lose too much information. It gets rid of the pin/label mechanism, and modifiers on lookup expressions, and introduces JNodes and JAxes in their place. (Any suggestions for improved terminology are more than welcome.) I think we get a lot more "bangs for the buck" with this solution, and it makes navigation of JSON trees work in a much closer way to familiar navigation of XML trees. It needs a lot more work on examples and explanation, of course.

PR #2019: 1776: XSLT template rules for maps and array

Pull request #2019 by michaelhkay.

Currently work In progress, committed so that the draft can be reviewed. Changes in three main areas: - Pattern syntax: patterns such as `?item` and `?parent?item` are defined to match items in a map by their key - Built-in template rules for on-no-match="shallow-copy-all". Revisits the built in template rules for this scenario. - General revision of the processing model for xsl:apply-templates applied to a tree of maps and arrays.

PR #2011: 675(part): Add XSLT static typing rules for new kinds of XPath expression

Pull request #2011 by michaelhkay.

Updates the static typing rules in XSLT for new kinds of expression introduced in XPath 4.0. These rules are used in streamability analysis, but more work needs to be done to complete the streamability analysis. Production rules are now referenced by name, as production numbers are no longer available.

PR #1062: 150bis revised proposal for fn:ranks

Pull request #1062 by michaelhkay.

This proposal is an amended/alternative proposal for the fn:ranks function, taking into account the work done on the original issue #150 and the PR #1027 and the comments raised. Acknowledgements to the original author for the idea and for a lot of good work on examples etc. It amends the previous proposal as follows: (a) the signature and the semantics are aligned with fn:sort. This adds some functionality (multiple sort keys, ascending/descending) and also removes some complexity (two different collations for comparing input items and result items) (b) the style of exposition is changed editorially for consistency with other functions
