ACTION 2015-09-10-002: MK to make a proposal on how to handle arrays in the template-match rules (as outlined in https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2015Sep/0007.html <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xsl-wg/2015Sep/0007.html> part (B) and discussed on 10 September [arrays as functions, or atomized?]) On reflection, instead of handling arrays identically to functions in the built-in template rules, I feel the following causes fewer surprises: Text-only-copy Apply templates to the members of the array: <xsl:template match=“.[. instance of array(*)]" mode="M"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="#current” select=“?*"/> </xsl:template> Deep-copy Same as for nodes, atomic values, functions, etc. Shallow-copy On balance, I recommend doing the same as for functions and maps, though this one is debatable. Deep-skip Same as for functions and maps. Shallow skip As for text-only-copy: apply templates to the members of the array. Fail Like everything else, raise an error. Michael Kay Saxonica
