> 29507   [xslt30] A problem case for streamed grouping   2016-03-10 

We discussed the issue.

There was some discussion of whether there is a problem here or not:
since the nodes in $extra and the nodes in /BOOKLIST/BOOKS/ITEM will
be in different documents; the expression ($extra,
/BOOKLIST/BOOKS/ITEM) does not need to sort them, since the order of
documents is implementation-varying.  But 

  ($extra, /BOOKLIST/BOOKS/ITEM)/PRICE

and
 
  (/BOOKLIST/BOOKS/ITEM, $extra)/PRICE

need to be in the same order. (There was some uncertainty whether both
of these can in fact occur in the same stylesheet, but two expressions
each of which involve nodes from the same two streaming and
non-streaming documents can occur.)

MSM asked why the comma operator should be interpreted as returning
things in document order; here, the key is that the expression using
the comma operator is striding.  

After discussion, we agreed to accept the proposal in comment 3.

RESOLVED: to resolve bug 29507 by accepting the proposal in comment 3.

At this point, the time for the call expired and we adjourned.
