RE: ISSUE 16: parameters for rules

Hi Felix,

 

<its:param> would be just to define the defaults and declare the variables. I think it’s needed in XPath. The tools can override the defaults any way they want.

 

Jirka, please correct me if needed.

Hi Yves,

 

wouldn't that need to conflicts between its:param and implementation specific parameters? E.g. 
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xsl/commandline.xml

allows to pass parameters to XSLT, and that's just one example. Would that have precedence over its:param?

For Java there is a variable resolver the interface for using XPath.

So, should we move forward with a definition for the parameters like this?:

<its:param name="theName">theDefaultValue</its:param>

It seems to be relatively simple to implement. See the attached files.

Cheers,
