Re: [xml-dev] XPath and a continuous, uniform information space


What is the semantic difference between an axis and a function call

It's largely syntax.

Don't underestimate the importance of syntax!

There's a lot of difference in usability between

$customer/order[paid=false()]/product/price

and

for $c in $customer for $o in orders($c) for $p in products($o) where not(paid($o)) return price($p)
