I hope no one takes offence at this, but some of the XSLT future discussion has spilled over here at times, so, as Clark Evans posted to the xsl-list: To: xsl-list@l... Subject: [xsl] ANNOUNCE: Petition to withdraw xsl:script from XSLT 1.1 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0103010105010.21499-100000@c...> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-xsl-list@l... Reply-To: xsl-list@l... X-MailLoop: 1 Collegues, Earlier last month, Uche Ogbuji posted a very thoughtful commentary [1] on XSLT 1.1. His remarks resonated deeply with many of us and sparked a long and serious discussion about xsl:script, as summarized [2] by Leigh Dodds. It was suggested during this discussion that Uche's analysis and conclusions regarding the inclusion of xsl:script were either too late [3] or not backed by a sufficient user community. In any case, both Scott Boag [4] and Steve Muench [5] encouraged formal feedback to the W3C working group. It is because of this encouragement that several of us got together, collected our thoughts on the topic, and have assembled the following petition. http://uche.ogbuji.net:8000/etc/no-xsl-script.xhtml If you agree to the petition above, would you be so kind as to add your signature at bottom of the page. We expect to wrap up the signature period on the 15th of March and will send a formal copy to the XSLT WG at that time. We sincerely hope that this user-driven feedback to the W3C will help advance the XSLT specification. Respectfully yours, Clark C.
