           Summary: [xslt 3.0] Problems with xs:accumulator/@applies-to

Arising from the review of accumulators (see bug #27273), various problems were
identified with the semantics of the @applies-to attribute: in particular, it
did not appear to meet its original purpose, of enabling a streaming processor
to know whether or not a particular accumulator was applicable to a particular
source document.

After extensive email discussion the WG decided on an alternative approach to
define the relationship between accumulators and documents, based on a
@use-accumulators attribute on xsl:stream, xsl:merge-source, and
xsl:global-context-item.

The proposal in message
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2014Dec/0018.html (member-only)
(plus a follow-up in 2014Dec/0019.html) was accepted by the WG, with minor
changes recorded in the minutes.
