Bug ID: 29361
Summary: Add CSS selectors
Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
Version: Working drafts
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Requirements for Future Versions
Assignee: jim.melton@acm.org
Reporter: benito@benibela.de
QA Contact: public-qt-comments@w3.org
Target Milestone: ---
Nowadays CSS selectors are the standard way to query for some HTML elements,
because these selectors are much shorter than XPath expressions, e.g.
span#color div.red for ( element-with-id("blue")[name() =
"span"]//div[tokenize(@class) = "red"] ). The alternative using contains-token
( element-with-id("blue")[name() = "span"]//div[contains-token(@class, "red")]
) is even longer.
Thus for HTML a function fn:css($selector as string) that evaluates a CSS
selector on the descendants of the context item would be more useful, e.g.
css("span#color div.red")
