Hello, I have a question about XSLT 1.0. A number of Xalan developers have debated on more than one occasion the intent of the Working Group when it framed the text in Section 5.3 [1] that prohibits VariableReferences from appearing in the Pattern that is the value of the match attribute of an xsl:template element, and the text in Section 12.2 [2] that prohibits VariableReferences from appearing in the Pattern that is the value of the match attribute or the Expression that is the value of the use attribute of an xsl:key element. Was it the Working Group's intention that VariableReferences should be prohibited from appearing in all Patterns? If so, the same restriction would be required in Section 7.7 [3] for the value of the count attribute of the xsl:number element. Thanks, Henry [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Defining-Template-Rules [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#key [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#number ------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry Zongaro Xalan development IBM SWS Toronto Lab Tie Line 969-6044; Phone (905) 413-6044 mailto:zongaro@ca.ibm.com
