The XML Query and XSL Working Groups have released the following Working Drafts of XML Query 1.0, XSL 2.0, XPath 2.0 and supporting documents. The goal of this release is to permit public review of changes made in response to Last Call comments. These documents are very close to the so called Candiate Recommendation that we hope to be able to publish soon. Yeah! We are making progress! Even though my issue with the spec has been closed without making the proposed change (minority opinion, here I come)...
Also published are the following updated Working Drafts which have not yet reached Last Call:
Comments are as always welcome through the W3C's Bugzilla interface or the public comment mailing list.
PS: Thanks to the editors and especially Norm who again did a terrific job on getting the docs ready...
Waehrend TechEd 2005 in Amsterdam hatte ich das Vergnuegen, mich mit Martin Szugat zu unterhalten. Das Interview ist jetzt veroeffentlicht. Ausserdem hat die neueste Ausgabe des dotnet Magazins SQL Server 2005 inklusive XML Support zum Schwerpunkt (http://www.aboutxml.de/xml-corner.zip [10MB ZIP Datei]). Viel Spass!
