           Summary: [XT30] Allow posture and sweep tests in the catalog
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Last Call drafts

We should allow the possibility of posture and sweep tests, to make it possible
for processors to assess individual posture and sweep expressions or
constructs, based on context posture and expected posture and sweep results.

This can, of course, not be a required feature, as the specification does not
mandate processors to have an interface to test for just posture and sweep of
any construct, but it helps in creating tests that otherwise can only be part
of a streaming test set, which can either stream or not stream.

The advantage of such a feature in the catalog would be to test an expression
whether it is crawling or climbing. It gives a more granular control over what
we are actually testing and prevents streamability tests to slip through when
the processor makes the wrong assessments, but fails to report them as errors.
