--- Comment #2 from Sharon Adler <sca.w3c@gmail.com> ---
Thank you for your comment.  Michaels response is correct that this is a
result of timing, but he makes it sound as if we considered doing arrays
in XSLT.  Individuals may have wanted to add this feature but our
efforts were focused on Maps and JSON conversion.  In 2011, I chaired
a "SWAT" team from the joint Working Groups to see if we could resolve
differences
that inhibited getting a clean design that would work for both groups,
again with the focus on maps and JSON.  The XSLT WG did not have an
advocate to include arrays in XSLT.  Since the work on XSLT 3.0 and
XPath 3.1 took considerable effort and time, those members who wanted
array functionality could get this feature through the XPath
3.1. optional feature in XSLT 3.0.  From the time of Last Call to CR the
last few years we could not attempt to add such a significant feature.
