See https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#id-switch for inspiration. Also https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#element-choose for XSLT's version. switch expressions didn't make it into XPath 3.1, although you can of course have a chain of if/else expressions. I like XSLT's use of <when test="..."> since XSLT specifies a declarative mapping, not control flow. Liam -- Liam R. E. Quin <liam@w3.org> The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
