Subject
Cast/constructor should allow empty sequence.
Don, Michael:
We discussed your comments
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Mar/0211.html
and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-qt-comments/2004Mar/00891.html
in San Jose and agreed to make the following changes:
1. The constructor functions should accept the empty sequence. If the
empty sequence is passed to a constructor function, the empty sequence is
returned.
2. The cast syntax allows the type name to specify whether an empty
sequence is acceptable. If it is, and the expression to be cast is the
empty sequence, the empty sequence is returned. If the empty sequence is
not allowed and the expression to be cast is the empty sequence, a type
error is raised.
Please confirm that this is satisfactory.
All the best, Ashok
