W3C Invites Implementations of XSLT and XQuery Serialization 3.0

   28 March 2013 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2013#entry-9770

   The XSLT Working Group and the XML Query Working Group have
   published a Candidate Recommendation of "XSLT and XQuery
   Serialization 3.0." This document defines serialization of an
   instance of the data model as defined in XQuery and XPath Data
   Model (XDM) 3.0 into a sequence of octets. Serialization is
   designed to be a component that can be used by other
   specifications such as XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0
   or XQuery 3.0: An XML Query Language. Learn more about the XML
   Activity.
