I am not familiar with XQuery annotations, but in case one needs to
have XPath functions together with other data that is relevant to
them, one way (very schematic -- can further be refined) is to have:
map {
'Func1Descriptor' : map {
'annotation': someAnnotation,
'function': theFunction
},
'Func2Descriptor' : map {
'annotation': someAnnotation,
'function': theFunction
},
. . . . . . . . . . .
}
Or one can even make the function be only accessible via the
annotation -- which in this case will itself be a map, one of whose
entries' value will be the function.
map {
'Func1Descriptor' : map {
'annotation': map {
'meta':someAnnotationMatter,
'function': theFunction
}
},
'Func2Descriptor' : map {
'annotation': map {
'meta':someAnnotationMatter,
'function': theFunction
}
},
. . . . . . . . . . .
}

Does anyone know if there is something similar in XSLT to XQuery 3.0's
Annotations?
I am developing a set of XPath functions, which produce functions.
These produced functions can benefit from being treated in a certain
manner by a processor.
I was thinking of using custom Annotations to label the produced
functions, so that a processor would have more information about how
they should be evaluated. Unfortunately I just realised that
Annotations are defined in the XQuery spec, not the lower XPath spec
(as I had assumed).
Is there anything equivalent for functions (produced by functions) in XSLT?
p.s. I will crosspost to the x-query/talk list as this seems relevant to both.
Thanks Adam.
