http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5876 --- Comment #3 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> 2009-02-12 15:35:11 --- I was asked at the XSL WG meeting on 5 Feb to produce a wording proposal to resolve this. Proposal: For XPath and XQuery Appendix A.4: (1) delete the sentence "Operators that have a lower precedence number cannot be contained by operators with a higher precedence number." (2) from the row labelled 19, delete the round and curly braces. (3) Add after the table: "Note: parentheses can be used to override the operator precedence in the usual way. Square brackets in an expression such as A[B] serve two roles: they act as an operator causing B to be evaluated once for each item in the value of A, and they act as parentheses enclosing the expression B. <XQuery-only>Curly braces in an expression such as validate{E} or ordered{E} perform a similar bracketing role to the parentheses in a function call, but with the difference in most cases that E is an Expr rather than ExprSingle, meaning that it can use the comma operator.</XQuery-only> -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Thursday, 12 February 2009 15:35:20 UTC
