XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language W3C Working Draft 12 November 2003 Here are some comments from http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-query-comments/2002Jan/0002.html that did not receive a response from the WG. -------------------- [3] ExprComment This seems like a poor name for the symbol, given that it's not a kind of expression. (In fact, CompXmlComment would seem to have more of a claim to the name, since it actually is a kind of expression.) Why not just "Comment"? By the way, why did you drop single-line comments (# to line-end)? What is the grammatical/lexical effect of a comment? E.g., is foo(: comment :)bar equivalent to foobar or foo bar ? (And is the effect the same for Pragmas and MUExtensions?) -------- [9] DoubleLiteral Change ("e" | "E") to [eE] Change ("+" | "-") to [+-] [23] HexDigits Change ([0-9] | [a-f] | [A-F]) to [0-9a-fA-F] -------- 3.7.1 Direct Element Constructors "a pair of identical curly brace characters within the content of an element or attribute are interpreted by XQuery as a single curly brace character" [And similarly in A.2.2 ELEMENT_CONTENT.] An alternative would be to use character references (e.g., { and }). -Michael Dyck
