Hi Folks,
$airport-id holds the identifier of an airport.
I use $airport-id to collect <row> elements in $airports-nav-records with a
matching ARPT_IDENT:
<xsl:variable name="nav-records-for-this-airport"
select="$airports-nav-records//row[ARPT_IDENT eq
$airport-id]"
as="element(row)*"/>
Does it make sense to verify that every <row> element in
$nav-records-for-this-airport has an ARPT_IDENT that matches $airport-id? Is
there a benefit to this assert:
<xsl:assert test="every $i in $nav-records-for-this-airport satisfies
$i/ARPT_IDENT eq $airport-id "/>
To my way of thinking, there is no benefit. I collected <row> elements with a
matching ARPT_IDENT, then the assert tests that the collected <row> elements
have a matching ARPT_IDENT. The assert seems
pointless/redundant/useless/wasteful. Am I missing something?
Here's the assert in context:
<xsl:for-each select="$airports/*/row">
<xsl:variable name="airport-id"
select="ARPT_IDENT"
as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:variable name="nav-records-for-this-airport"
select="$airports-nav-records//row[ARPT_IDENT
eq $airport-id]"
as="element(row)*"/>
<xsl:assert test="every $i in $nav-records-for-this-airport satisfies
$i/ARPT_IDENT eq $airport-id "/>
