A few more bug fixes for my XSLT 2.0 RELAX NG Grammar. This version validates stylesheets conforming to the 4 Apr 2005 draft of XSLT 2.0.

After fixing a few bugs, I found a few more. Last night, when I discovered that use-when wasn't supported, I decided that what was really needed was a thorough check against the most recent specification. That resulted in the following changes:

I also renamed and reordered some of the patterns and used the AVT pattern in a bunch of attributes where it had been overlooked.

The new xslt20.rnc is available. It still works with the (unmodified) xslt10.rnc and xslt.rnc grammars.

Please report any bugs that you find. Share and enjoy!

Comments:

This cleans up the only issue I see on the stylesheets I've loaded thus far. Finding this page this morning really made my day. Thanks!

Thanks for this schema. It saves me a lot of typing when used in conjunction with nXML ;-)

Norm,

xsl:namespace's name attribute is a possibly empty AVT but typed as attribute name { xsd:NCName }, I think it should be avt.datatype

the mode attribute can take a white space separated list of modes but is typed as attribute mode { "#all" | "#default" | qname.datatype }? I think the last clause should be qnames__s__.datatype

My suggested change was not enough, does not validate

<xsl:template mode="#default a" match="/">

I now suggest

mode.datatype = list { "#all" | (xsd:NCName | "#default")+ }

(which is same as exclude.prefixes.datatype except with a + not a *) together with
template.element =
   element template {
      extension.atts,
      global.atts,
      (attribute match { pattern.datatype }
       & attribute mode { mode.datatype}?)?,
      attribute name { qname.datatype }?,
      attribute priority { number.datatype }?,
      attribute as { sequence.datatype }?,
      (param.element*, sequence.constructor)
   }

of course the trouble with cutting and pasting things is that you tend to cut the wrong thing. (It would be so much better if i could kill and yank instead:-)

unlike exclude.prefixes.datatype modes can be QNames not just NCNames so xsd:NCName above needs to be xsd:QName or equivalently qname.datatype

PS any chance that you could see comments when writing a comment: it would make it a bit easier when replying to comments
