Oh dear. Yes, of course.
Which is why you would like a memoization attribute within the spec?
To clearly mark those functions which are not pure?
No.
Or to change the
semantics of functions that call xsl:element, for instance?
No, none of these
Surely you
can't expect the WG to agree to such a substantial change at this late stage?
Please, read what I wrote -- it was said clearly.
Or are you requesting banning non-pure functions altogether?
I was talking not about "functions" but about xsl:function
Does it make a difference now?
Cheers,
Dimitre
