<title>Discretionary behavior in '<strong>XSL

Transformations (XSLT)</strong>' and '<strong>XPath</strong>'</title>

<question-intro>
|
|
|
|
<p>Questionnaire for XSLT processor developers</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The XSLT and XPath Recommendations were written in hopes that XML
|
|
data could be transformed as needed by the products of many vendors.
|
|
Builders of Web sites should be able to use tools to create XSLT
|
|
stylesheets regardless of the XSLT processor that will ultimately
|
|
execute the styling. The OASIS XSLT/XPath test suite is the most
|
|
comprehensive measure of the necessary interoperability.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>As a developer trying to meet the W3C Recommendations, you know how
|
|
the verbiage of the Recommendations contains precisely-stated
|
|
provisions that interlock in complex and sometimes surprising ways.
|
|
There are also cases where you have leeway to choose one of two
|
|
allowable behaviors or decide output details. Below is our
|
|
questionnaire about the choices. We want you to specify the choices
|
|
you made when creating your XSLT processor. You are encouraged to
|
|
post the answers on your own Web site as well as sending them to us.
|
|
When you prepare to use our test suite, an XML document containing
|
|
your answers is used to filter out test cases that assume the other
|
|
choice, leaving a rendition that is custom-fit to your processor
|
|
insofar as allowed by the Recommendations.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Conformance to the Recommendations is tested by running thousands
|
|
of small test cases, each with processor inputs and an expected
|
|
output. Comparison of actual and expected output neutralizes all
|
|
details that have been defined as irrelevant by the XML, InfoSet,
|
|
Namespaces, and XSLT Recommendations. There is no reason to think
|
|
that all tests have equal weight, hence we discourage talk of
|
|
percentages of conformance and the like. If you have some tests
|
|
that you would like to be included in a later edition of our
|
|
suite, see howtosub.htm for submission instructions.</p>
