[Bug 4657] Restrict the use of deref in sml:field/@xpath for SML implementation built on top of relational databases

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4657

           Summary: Restrict the use of deref in sml:field/@xpath for SML
                    implementation built on top of relational databases
           Product: SML
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: cmsmcq@w3.org

Implementation of SML identity constraints that use the smlfn:deref() function
in sml:field/@xpath expressions is challenging for persistent SML stores built
on top of relational database systems. The standards body to which SML gets
submitted should investigate this and, if needed, explore options to ease the
implementation burden for persistent SML stores using relational databases.
