https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28350 Bug ID: 28350 Summary: [XSLT30] (possibly editorial) static variables declaration order, unfinished sentence in spec Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT Version: Member-only Editors Drafts Hardware: PC OS: Windows NT Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: XSLT 3.0 Assignee: mike@saxonica.com Reporter: abel.braaksma@xs4all.nl QA Contact: public-qt-comments@w3.org The spec, under 9.7 Static Expressions says: <quote> If two static variables satisfying this rule have the same name and are both in scope, the one that appears most recently in stylesheet tree order; as a consequence of rules defined elsewhere this will always be consistent with the declaration having highest import precedence. </quote> I think the first sentence is meant to mean something like: "If two static [...], then the static variable that appears most recently in stylesheet tree order is in scope." (I am missing a verb and a (prepositional) object in the sentence, I think). I'm not 100% sure, but I think it means (among others) that the following is legal: <xsl:variable static="yes" name="first" select="'hello'" /> <xsl:variable static="yes" name="first" select="$first || ' world'" /> Because the one most recently declared in tree-order is valid, and the variable is not in scope of itself, so $first in the expression refers to the previous declaration, and is legal. The variable would now hold string "hello world". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
