RE: [xml-dev] ANN: Portable Data Component -- start/end

Hi Mukul,

>  <xs:assert test="if (exists(end)) then (end gt start) else true()" />

Actually, that was my first attempt. However, SAXON gave me an error on this data:

    <flight>
        <start>2007-07-08T16:00:00+08:00</start>
        <end>2007-07-08T14:00:00-05:00</end>
    </flight>

Error:  "flight does not match the assertion"

That's why I formulated the assertion as I did, with type checking and type casting.

Hi Roger,
    Nice example.

There's a minor suggestion though.

Since "start" and "end" are typed nodes during assertion evaluation, I
think the above assert expression can be written as follows,

<xs:assert test="if (exists(end)) then (end gt start) else true()" />
