Hi Michael, Starting with utility parts is regular way to implement a new recommendation specification. But i think, functions is a very practical part. If i finish it first,may be some guys can go it into service. Months ago,i was working with a XSLT project based on Xalan, i need some XPath 2.0 functions,but i have to finished them by Xalan extension mechanism one by one, it is a boring work, so ,i think, if some one implements these XPath 2.0 functions already, how beautiful the world is!
But i want to say that implementing functions is just a pre-handler job for Xalan's XSLT 2.0 implemention job, it must be done sooner or later, so i have started it,it won't go wrong. Then start with which parts,schema change,sequences change or some utility parts, i am not very sure, so,i need your help,all of you can give me some advises. 2010-03-27 ustbcoder 发件人： Michael Ludwig 发送时间： 2010-03-27 04:39:44 收件人： xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org 抄送： 主题： Re: Re: implement XPath 2.0 function for xalan xunlong gui schrieb am 26.03.2010 um 23:27:15 (+0800): > 1.implements all the XSLT 2.0 functions which do not need sequences > and XSLT 2.0 schema support Leaving aside (W3C XML) schema awareness, the new type system of XPath 2.0 seems the most fundamental change from 1.0 to 2.0, so I wonder whether focussing on the utility parts would be a good start for any effort to go to 2.0? -- Michael Ludwig
