Re:  Challenge: do better than my implementation of  "u
Hi Roger,

I think this would work better ...

<xsl:function name="f:add-entry-to-map" as="map(xs:string, item())">
<xsl:param name="key" as="xs:string" />
<xsl:param name="value" as="item()" />
<xsl:param name="m" as="map(xs:string, item())" />
<xsl:sequence select="map:new( ($m), map:entry($key, $value)))" />
</xsl:function>


.. as the map:new() function works on a sequence of maps. Refer to the example in the spec, entitled "Example: Using a Map as an Index".


Faithfully, Sean B. Durkin

Hi Folks,

Below is a stylesheet that implements two functions on maps:

1. Update an existing map with another key/value pair

2. Print the contents of a map

I'm mighty proud of these two functions.

But I'm willing to believe that there exists an even better implementation.

Challenge: can you create a better implementation of these two functions?
