[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: XPath and XPattern (was Re: More on taming SAX)
 Uche, > No. Sorry. STX is just one candidate. Others have implemented the > same thing in other ways. Why should STX be the automatic winner? Oh my gosh... help! I surrender! :) What I intended to say was: a lot of analysis on streamability has gone into this subset of XPath. It's worth looking at, and the mailing list archives are worth looking at because there was a lot of discussion on axes, predicates, one-lookahead for text node children (which enables a few types of predicates to be evaluated), and other issues that anybody who attempts this will run up against. The discussion included a number of people from this list, including Michael Kay. Then people could read up on it, rather than post messages like "I heard through the grapevine that predicates generally don't work with streaming". Then again, I suppose, it's fun to do analysis from scratch. Ah well, whatever it is, it'll be good to see streaming processors! > Everyone knows that "streaming subset of XPath" is an old talking point. > I think the thrust of this current thread is that it's high time for all > the diverse approaches to be distilled into a shared convention.

I think you would find that the STX contributors would make very reluctant dictators indeed... :) Christian ------------------------------------- Christian Nentwich Technical Director, Syste/\/\/ire Semantic validation?
