http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=2702 Summary: [XSLT] terminology for variable/param with 'as' attribute defined Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT Version: Candidate Recommendation Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: XSLT 2.0 AssignedTo: mike@saxonica.com ReportedBy: joannet@ca.ibm.com QAContact: public-qt-comments@w3.org A temporary tree refers to "an xsl:variable, xsl:param, or xsl:with-param element that has non- empty content and that has no as attribute" A source tree "means any tree provided as input to that instruction; this may be a source tree of the transformation as a whole, or it may be a temporary tree produced during the course of the transformation." A result tree is "either a final result tree or a temporary tree." where a final result tree "is a result tree that forms part of the final output of a transformation" Since the result produced by an xsl:variable, xsl:param, or xsl:with-param element that has an 'as' attribute is neither a temporary tree, a source tree, nor a result tree, what is the correct terminology in this case? It is clearly the intention of the working group that such a node bound to this variable/param can be used in a path expression. However, based on current definitions of different types of trees, this does not seem to be true.
