I will not be able to attend the telecon today. I thought I should pass along one item from my discussion last week with the XQuery editors. We talked about more than just the Functions & Operators spec that I reviewed, because that review was supposed to be a signal of the spec concerns that will aply to more of their specs. An implementation of an XQuery processor will be allowed to vary by being either a static analyzer or dynamic. We discussed how to characterize the difference. At first it seemed like a profile, since the variance can be described as whether the user gets errors reported early (static) or late (dynamic). As the discussion progressed, we started thinking of it as a matter of levels. Every query that works in a static processor will also work in a dynamic one, but the reverse is not the case. For now, they will think about the variance as a two-level case. With the collapsing of the module/profile/level guidelines into one, their initial discomfort (the variance didn't seem like any of those) may be smoothed over. I don't think QAWG is required to take action, just note the discomfort in case that verbiage is adjusted again. .................David Marston
