While I'm happy to see that schema support is not mandatory in XSLT, I'm
a little concerned that it appears impossible to write a stylesheet for
a schema aware processor that falls back gracefully on a basic one.
XSLT has always had quite good support for forwards and backwards
compatible behaviour and run-time testing for (and avoidance
of) non-implemented extensions.
However
[ERR XT1660] A basic XSLT processor must signal a static error if the
stylesheet includes an [xsl:]type attribute, or an [xsl:]validation or
default-validation attribute with a value other than strip.
seems to mean that I can't go
<xsl:when test="system-property('xsl:is-schema-aware')">
... xsl:validation ...
<xsl:otherwise>
... just relax ....
Wouldn't it be possible for a basic processor to simply ignore
schema-import and then have run time rather than static errors if any
schema specific features are encountered?
