Hi Florent,
Thomas Meinike has pointed [1] me to your XMLSS presentation on the
XPath/XSLT/XQuery 3.0 novelties. Among other things, you presented XSLT
text value templates [2], a feature that we didn’t see in the current
draft spec [3].
Can you elaborate a bit on the status of this feature?
I think that it’s misleading because syntactically it looks like XQuery
where an arbitrary sequence may be created by the expression inside the
curly braces, while in XSLT the expression should evaluate to a mere
text node. Does this small gain in syntactic sweetness really outweigh
the inconsistency with a sister spec?
