Re: What do an empty document mean ?

/ Innovimax SARL <innovimax@gmail.com> was heard to say:
|> A.1.2 Delete
|>
|> Produces an empty sequence.
|
| [1] I would say an error, since this component doesn't deliver sequence as
| output, unless we say it does output a sequence

Yes, after I sent the message I thought of a possibly simpler rule:
if a document doesn't accept a sequence, then sending it an empty
sequence is an error.

| A.1.23 XSLT
|>
|> Error.
|
| Agreed (but why  only that one ?)

Because I don't think XSLT 1.0 can start without a document.

| My position is that sequence="no" is EXACTLY one document (1 and only 1)
| sequence="yes" implies 0 or more documents

Just what I thought :-)

                                          norm
