Where do you find the Exselt processor? http://exselt.net returns
something else.

For reasons I don't know it is no longer available; it is a bit of a
pity as it seemed mature enough to serve (in some areas) as one of the
two required implementations to move XSLT 3 to W3C recommendation status
and it was a pure .NET implementation.

XSL-List friends,

Is there anything special I should know about a match pattern such as

"a / (b|c)" -- which gives me an error (in oXygen and running Saxon)?

<xsl:template match="a / (b | c)"/>

Wouldn't it be permitted by the grammar given at

https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-30/#pattern-syntax? Production [11] would

seem to permit a parenthetical expression as a discrete step. Is there

something I am missing here?

It seems the spec indeed allows this.



Furthermore, Saxon-JS 2 doesn't complain:

Will need to check whether I still have that other XSLT 3 processor
Exselt and what it says.

Exselt allows <xsl:template match="a / (b | c)"/> in e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      version="3.0"
      xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
      expand-text="yes">

<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>

<xsl:template match="a / (b | c)"/>

</xsl:stylesheet>
