it's saying that if the implementation delegates to another serialization method for part or all of the output, the indent and suppress-indentation parameters are to be passed on to that method. > > (What throws me off a bit here, of course, is that Adaptive is the > only > output method that serializes maps *as* maps, so there isn't anywhere > else > to look for direct guidance on indentation of maps.) In principle doesn't JSON do that too? Which is why I think delegating map serialization to the JSON method might make sense. If you do plan to file an issue against the spec, do it soon - I think the XQuery Working Group might only have two or three more meetings before it closes. XSLT will be going perhaps a little longer but is focused on XSLT 3. Liam -- Liam R. E.
