RE: New XProc editor's WG reflects latest proposals

OK. I like the new versioning story (24 October 2009... just in case that
text changes drastically in the future, I'd like to note the date) :)

Just a slight correction on it though. The text about unknown options should
also be added back. You know, the part about
"4. New options on known steps are ignored in the pipeline."

Since options can be set with p:with-option as well as attributes, the text
about unknown attributes doesn't exactly cover it.

Subject: New XProc editor's WG reflects latest proposals

Hi folks,

I just published my first attempt at addressing the recent proposed changes
to the XProc spec:

  http://www.w3.org/XML/XProc/docs/langspec

I've also updated the revision markup draft, though that's getting a bit
cluttered.

Changes since the preceding editor's draft:

1. Replaced the versioning story
2. Changed default connections on p:with-option and p:with-param to p:empty
   if there's no default readable port
3. Relaxing the rules about primary parameter input ports (this item
   hasn't been discussed by the WG, so it's purely speculative on
   the part of the editor.)

Please review this draft and report any errors or omissions. 

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
