It is a static error if the signature of a known step in the version library has changed, except for new options. How to improve (clarify) the phrasing? How will an implementation know that the author is assuming a different signature than the one he/she is expecting? E.g. same name, two parameters, both string. If the semantics change... how to tell? [Definition: The signature of a step is the set of inputs, outputs, and options that it is declared to accept.] The declaration for a step provides a fixed signature which all its instances share. Is the signature sufficiently unique for this error to be explicit? The exception could/should be removed from this error IMHO since it only indirectly relates (relates only indirectly?) to the error? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
