I can't tell for sure that the comments are based on a clear understanding of the design that the WG has adopted. Several aspects of the comments have turned out to be unfounded; for example that the variables in a SELECT clause can reduce the number of solutions, and a number of examples in sort of hypothetical syntaxes that are claimed to not work that actually do seem to work when written correctly. Now that may say something about the clarity of the spec... I don't have a clear picture of how to improve it, but I'm sure the editors will accept any help they get there... But I think I'm not going to re-open the issue at the WG level until I see a test case that clarifies the issue; i.e. one written in the real syntax where everybody agrees what the current spec says is the answer, but somebody thinks a different answer would be given by a better design. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
