Re: [xsl] Question on streaming accumulator solely selecting attribute in select expression of accumulator-rule

---

I think the problem is that the analysis of the dynamic function call
$value(@type) isn't smart enough. I haven't yet established whether this a
problem with the streamability rules in the spec or a problem with the Saxon
implementation. But if you replace this with map:get($value, @type) then it
works.

same attribute causes an error, I thought during streaming of an element its
attributes are always accessible.
