https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18973 --- Comment #3 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> 2012-09-23 09:31:09 UTC --- I guess xsl:select is addressing a slightly different (or overlapping) requirement. Unlike TVTs, it doesn't reduce verbosity (in fact, it increases the stylesheet size). It doesn't have the backwards compatibility issues of TVTs. But I think the benefits are less tangible. If escaping "<" is a problem, then it's quite likely that half the time the problem arises in "test" attributes rather than "select" attributes, and the proposal doesn't solve that. A different approach to the "<" problem would be to allow use of ﹤ and ＜ (xFE64/xFF1C) as synonyms for < (x3C) in the XPath grammar; at the same time we could allow ≤ (x2264) for <=, etc.≪ -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
