SUMMARY OF DECISIONS
====================
Note to secretary: Please insert a summary of all decisions made during
this teleconference at this location in the minutes.

Decisions MUST be clear as to their complete intent.  The subject of the
decision should *not* require dereferencing; it is most helpful if
agenda numbers and bug numbers are accompanied by their titles.  If a
decision is recorded about the resolution of a bug, the decision must
state exactly what the resolution is (e.g., "Accept the solution in
comment #5", or "Replace the production for XXX with this: <new
production>", or the like.  It should be possible to read a decision
months later and be certain what it meant and whether or not it was
properly applied.


DECISION: Fix bug 29346 with the spec clarification proposed in comment 12 of the bug.
DECISION: Fix bug 29362 by referring to the definition of op:same-key in F&O
DECISION: Accept the changes in comment 1 of bug 29364.
DECISION: Accept the changes in comment 0 of bug 29365.


NEW ACTION ITEMS
================
Note to secretary: Please insert all new action items assigned during
this teleconference at this location in the minutes.

Action items MUST make sense even when they are viewed standalone (that
is, not read in the context of the agenda item where they were
assigned).  This explicitly requires that all referents (e.g., "this",
"that") be made clear.  Action items such as "Ralph to resolve this
problem" are DISALLOWED.  It takes a scribe only a few additional
minutes to ensure that action items are clear, while it takes the entire
WG considerable effort to constantly research the meaning of unclear
action items.  The subject of the action item should *not* require
dereferencing; it is most helpful if agenda numbers and bug numbers are
accompanied by their titles.


ACTION A-629-01: Jonathan Robie to propose some clarification text to resolve bug 29277.
ACTION A-629-02: Jonathan Robie to apply the clarification from the comment 12 of bug 29346 to the spec.
ACTION A-629-03: Abel to write test cases for the resolution to bug 29346.
ACTION A-629-04: Jonathan Robie to fix bug 29362 by referring to the definition of op:same-key in F&O
ACTION A-629-05: Josh to apply the changes in comment 1 of bug 29364.
ACTION A-629-06: Josh to apply the changes in comment 0 of bug 29365.

Approved.


J1.5 Review of action items

NOTE: Please be prepared to respond quickly on your action items!

J1.5.1 Outstanding action items


ACTION A-626-03: MKay to fix bug 27908 by modifying the test case to use
an invalid URI.  Bug 27908 - K2-SeqDocFunc-12
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27908

Status: Pending; ETA 2016-01-12

Fixed.


ACTION A-627-01: Michael Kay to publish a new F&O with the approved
revised definition of fn:transform

Status: Pending; ETA 2016-01-12


Not done yet. ETA 2016-01-19


Action A-628-01: Liam to discuss the status of XQuery Update 3.0 at XML Prague.

Status: Pending; ETA not specified.

"XML Update" fixed to say "XQuery Update".


Action A-628-01: Jonathan to enter the following modification to
MDyck's proposal, into the Bug 29277 and ask Abel / Mike whether this
resolves the bug:

   1. The processor "makes the information available" as opposed to
      invoking using SC and DC
   2. The Note (which is non-normative).

   Replace the note with following normative text:

     An API used to invoke external functions must state whether the
     static and dynamic contexts are available to a function that is
     invoked. The F&O specification states how the static and dynamic
     contexts are available to a function that is invoked. A host
     language must state whether and how the static and dynamic
     contexts are available to a function that is invoked.

Status: Pending; ETA not specified.

Completed in the bug.



J1.5.2 Completed action items


Action A-628-02: Andy to invite Abel to join the next telcon to
discuss Bug 29346 and Bug 29277.

Status: Closed; Invitation sent in private email.


Action A-628-03: O'Neil will add the order by clause to fix Bug 29337,
as proposed in the bug.

Status: Closed; See
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29337#c1


Action A-628-04:  O'Neil to close Bug 29354 as "works for me" witht he following rationale:

   The key rationale is to decouple our spec from Unicode: using an
   unassigned character may be (perhaps is) a violation of the
   agreement between data source and data sink, if they have agreed to
   use a particular version of Unicode.  But it is not (and should not
   be) a violation of our specs.  Unicode may assign the character
   next month or next year, and it should be possible to use the
   character then, in a conforming implementation.  That means it must
   be possible *now* to use it in a conforming implementation.

Status: Closed; See
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29354#c2



J1.6 Update on related activities

J1.6.1 Update on XSLT WG activities (Sharon, MikeK)

J1.7.2 Future F2F Meetings

J1.7.2.1 Other future F2F meetings

None scheduled.


J2. Documents For Review

(none)



J3. Maintenance Issues

J3.0 The XML Query WG and XSLT WG do not intend to maintains specs
earlier than the 3.0 suite of documents; when the 3.1 suite reaches
Recommendation, maintenance of the 3.0 documents will be terminated.

This agenda item is reserved for reporting errors and other problems
reported against the 3.0 (later, 3.1) suite of specifications.


J3.0.1 Concerns raised by the XSLT working group in regards to potential
completion delays of XSLT 3.0 if XPath 3.0 is made obsoleted by 3.1

Status: Pending the outcome of Abel's review of 3.0 bugs/errata.
        Any change to the status of the 3.0 specs requires explicit XSL WG
        consultation.


J3.1 Bugzilla Bugs filed against the 3.0 suite of joint XML Query WG and
XSLT WG documents

J3.1.1 Bugzilla Bug 24568, Is the type system really a lattice? Or just
a partially ordered set?
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24568

Status: Fixed in Data Model 3.1; not expected to be addressed in Data
Model 3.0


J3.1.2 Bugzilla Bug 25231, [F+O 3.0 ONLY], ISO 8601, and XSD 1.1
http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25231

Status: Fixed in F&O 3.1; not expected to be addressed in F&O 3.0


J3.1.3 Bugzilla Bug 26788, [XPath30] XQuery-only errors in XPath 3.0
specification, like XQST0134"
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26788

Status: Fixed in XPath 3.1; not expected to be addressed in XPath 3.0



J4. Active Specification Development


** Note: Full Text 3.1 has been removed from the WG agenda.
If, in the future, there is sufficient interest (i.e. at least two
independent participants to develop the spec and implementations),
then this can be brought back on the agenda.

J4.4.1 Bug 29277 - [XP31] Evaluating function calls does not mention evaluation of dynamic or static function calls that have no FunctionBody

Status: Ready to discuss; Please review MDyck's analysis:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsl-query/2016Jan/0005.html
MDyck: comment 17 doesn't fix the whole problem.

Abel:        a/b/position#0!.()

MKay: This will return different position functions with the dynamic context bound for each "a/b".

mdyck:        yeah, i think Ghislain's 2012 proposal  took care of that

"Furthermore, if the function referenced by a NamedFunctionRef has an implementation-dependent implementation, then the implementation of the function returned by the NamedFunctionRef is associated with the static context of this NamedFunctionRef expression and to the dynamic context in which it is currently being evaluated."

in 3.1.6 Named Function references

MikeK: Suggested wording -

"If the function identified by the NamedFunctionReference is context-dependent, then the context that applies is the context at the point where the NamedFunctionReference is evaluated, not the point where the target function is evaluated."

JSnelson: The simple rule is that dynamic function calls never require information from the context.

MikeK: Suggested wording:

"For a partial application A of a context-dependent function F, the static and dynamic context that apply are taken from the context of A, not the context of the (dynamic) invocation of F."

ACTION A-629-01: Jonathan Robie to propose some clarification text to resolve bug 29277.


J4.4.2 Bug 29346 - [XP31] XPath-style currying, or the arrow operator, may require a bit more specification
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29346

Status: Ready to discuss


Substantial opinion that this feature was designed as a simple syntactic extension as an alternative function call syntax. (JRobie, Josh, John)

There is a clarification text proposed in comment 12.

DECISION: Fix bug 29346 with the spec clarification proposed in comment 12 of the bug.

ACTION A-629-02: Jonathan Robie to apply the clarification from the comment 12 of bug 29346 to the spec.

ACTION A-629-03: Abel to write test cases for the resolution to bug 29346.
