http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=1308 ------- Additional Comments From mike@saxonica.com 2005-05-13 18:19 ------- We discussed this on 12 May without coming to a firm conclusion: the outstanding technical question was what we should do about an xsl:perform-sort instruction containing a sequence constructor (which is allowed by xsl:perform-sort but not by xsl:sequence). I suggested during the telcon that <xsl:perform-sort> <xsl:sort select="..."/> <instructions>... </xsl:perform-sort> is equivalent to <xsl:for-each select="."> <xsl:sort select="..."/> <instructions>... </xsl:perform-sort> but I was wrong: the second case computes sort keys from the input sequence (.), not from the output sequence. I think my instinct now is to leave it alone. It ain't broke, and fixing things that ain't broke during the end game always risks introducing bugs.
