[xsl] Simple Map Expression Grammar definition in the XPath 3.0 Recommendation
Subject: [xsl] Simple Map Expression Grammar definition in the XPath 3.0 Recommendation From: "Dimitre Novatchev dnovatchev@xxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 10 May 2014 18:29:10 -0000 |
The W3C XPath 3.0 Recommendation XPath 3.0 grammar defines Simple Map expression in this way (http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-xpath-30-20140408/#id-map-operator): [34] SimpleMapExpr ::= PathExpr ("!" PathExpr)* It follows from this rule that a SimpleMapExpr is, among other things, any PathExpr -- because "*" means "zero or more". It seems rather weird to call an expression that doesn't contain any instance of the simple map operator, a "simple mapping expression". My guess is that the rule was meant as: [34] SimpleMapExpr ::= PathExpr ("!" PathExpr)+ According to this rule, a SimpleMapExpr should contain at least one instance of the simple map operator. Hope that this problem is acknowledged and the correction is included in the Errata. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the biggest mistake of all ------------------------------------ Quality means doing it right when no one is looking. ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play ------------------------------------- To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep. ------------------------------------- Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. ------------------------------------- Typing monkeys will write all Shakespeare's works in 200yrs.Will they write all patents, too? :) ------------------------------------- I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.
