Subject: Re: Why do the XSLT and XML Schema specifications use different notations for Definitions?
From: Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We (on the XSLT side) once encountered a case where there was ambiguity as where a definition ended, so we changed the notation to make sure that didn't happen (though it causes some problems because we can't handle a multi-paragraph definition). WGs typically do such things without asking other WGs for permission/consensus.

Hi Folks,

In the XSLT 3.0 specification it uses this notation for definitions:

[Definition: blah, blah, blah.]

In the XML Schema 1.1 specification it uses this notation for definitions:

[Definition:] blah, blah, blah.

Why is there a difference in notation?
