https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29415 --- Comment #4 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> --- Proposed resolution: (0) Replace "subexpression" by "sub-expression" throughout. (The two spellings are currently used interchangeably) (a) In the paragraph that starts "Sub-expressions (groups) within the regular expression are recognized." add at the end "A left parenthesis is recognized as a capturing left parenthesis provided it is not followed by "?:" (see below), is not within a character group (square brackets), and is not escaped with a backslash. The sub-expression enclosed by a capturing left parenthesis and its matching right parenthesis is referred to as a capturing sub-expression. (b) Change the sentence The presence of the optional ?: has no effect on the set of strings that match the regular expression, but causes the left parenthesis not to be counted by operations that number the groups within a regular expression, for example the fn:replace function. to The presence of the optional ?: has no effect on the set of strings that match the regular expression, but causes the left parenthesis not to be treated as a capturing left parenthesis, which means it is not counted by constructs that number the groups within a regular expression, such as back-references and the fn:replace function. (c) In the paragraph starting "Back-references are allowed", replace the phrase "unescaped opening parentheses" by "capturing left parentheses". (d) In the paragraph starting "A back-reference matches", replace the phrase "unescaped left parentheses" by "capturing left parenthesis". (e) In the specification of fn:replace and fn:analyze-string, replace "parenthesized sub-expression" (several times) by "capturing sub-expression". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
