Re: [xml-dev] Serialization of XDM - Use cases / Proposal

["David A. Lee" <dlee@calldei.com>]

Ouch.  If this cant be done in xquery syntax then my goal of de-serializing an XML representation using a XQuery example implementation is out the door.

Here's my best shot ...


attribute
   { fn:QName( "U" , "P:N" ) }
   { my:IdType( "S" ) }    (: wont work will it :( :)


Ok I admit I'm totally stumped.  *IS* there a way to re-animate this example using XQuery (or XSLT?)  ?
I have a feeling that my goal of providing a reference implementation in XQuery will be impossible.  Not even sure how to get element type information re-animated.

Why not writing it directly as a native XQuery sequence ?
("foo",xs:positiveInteger(5),<bar><bat/></bar>,<!-- foo -->)

    

How would you serialize a parentless attribute node having local name N,
prefix P, namespace URI U, whose string value is "S", whose isID property is
true, and whose type annotation is my:idType?
