All,
(Not sure if I can point to this resolution anywhere online yet.)
This regards this issue:
http://htmlwg.mn.aptest.com/cgi-bin/xforms-issues/Events?id=18
The resolution in the minutes says:
"we accept with modifications; instead of the half-detached behavior
we propose a parallel event context value listing parents of
deleted nodes, with positional correspondence."
John hasn't yet propose the text, but I am wondering what "positional
correspondence" means.
Assume you delete three elements children of a same parent. If the
plan is for this context property to return a node-set, then I wanted
to point out that it can't contain duplicates as per XPath 1.0 [1]:
"node-set (an unordered collection of nodes without duplicates)"
It can only return the parent node a single time, in which case there
would be no "positional correspondence".
(With XPath 2.0, you could return a sequence, which can contain
duplicates.)
If what I am describing above is the way this property was imagined,
then another solution will have to be found.
-Erik
