Re: xsl/xslt coding standard
Since the W3C already defines documentation elements for schemas, why not
just bring those over into XSLT 2.0.
A brief illustration is at
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/11/29/schemas/part1.html?page=7
Bringing these over into XSLT would require two new elements:
xsl:annotation and xsl:documentation. Nesting <xsl:documentation> within a
parent <xsl:annotation> element might seem like overkill, since the
<xs:appinfo> element from schemas is probably superfluous, but it would
allow for the easy future addition of other types of documentation-related
elements.
An XSLT processor would be expected to quietly ignore any children of
<xs:annotation> which it didn't recognize.
