Hi,

 

Is it possible that in a nearby release of the XQUERY-standard the
parameters of the annotations in function-declarations can also hold
string-variables?

 

e.g.  

.         declare %myAnnotation( $annotationValue) function f ( ){()}  ;

.         instead of:  declare %myAnnotation( 'myLiteral') function f (
){()}  ;

.          

 

My use-case is that I want to be able to check some of my functions for
specific properties during processing.

 

- it would be nice if the source of the annotationValue at function-creation
could be the same as at function-checking, e.g.

.         declare variable $annotationValue := 'testValue' ;

.         declare %myAnnotation( $annotationValue) function f( ){()}  ;

.         declare function test( $f, $annotationValue){ ...test
annotation:%myAnnotation of function( $f) for value: $annotationValue...} ;

.         ...... test( $myFunction, $myTestValue) ....

 

- another, more important point is that the constructor-function for these
annotated functions can be called from different places in my program with
different values. So actually function-creation is also during processing.

 

Is this something that W3C sees as a useful enough addition and is it
feasible within the given capacity?

 

Thanks in advance,

Rob Stapper
