Steven: So I did this, please check that you're OK with the wording.

Topic: ACTION-2296: Add text to make it clear where xforms-action-error is
15:01:05 [Steven]
dispatched to.

Erik: The question is, is there anything we can meaningfully do?
15:04:18 [Steven]
... don't we say that the event may not be handlanle?
15:04:28 [Steven]
Steven: I think we say it for submit replace="all"
15:04:36 [Steven]
... for submit-error
15:04:48 [Steven]
Erik: It is in <load/> as well.
15:05:08 [Steven]
... are there any meaning cases where it is possible at all?
15:05:24 [Steven]
Alain: XSLTForms fires resource-error
15:05:43 [Steven]
... so it is similar to how submission works.
15:06:24 [Steven]
Steven: Which is what this is about. You don't need <load/> really, since you could use submit with replace="all".
15:06:59 [Steven]
Erik: You could take the long route, but often it is easiest to just replace the borwser's location
15:07:05 [Steven]
s/bor/bro/
15:08:05 [Steven]
Erik: It would make sense to fix the target of the error, and dispatch it in the same way as action-error.
15:08:34 [Steven]
... later we could make it an action-error and dispatch both and deprecate load-error
15:09:13 [Steven]
Steven: The simplests is to leave load error as is, except where it is dispatched to.
15:09:15 [Steven]
All: OK

Topic: Sorting

15:10:06 [Steven]
Steven: What do you do for sorting?
15:10:15 [Steven]
Erik: We may have two
15:10:27 [ebruchez_]
https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/xpath/standard-functions#exforms-functions
15:10:32 [Steven]
... there was a function in exforms
15:11:13 [Steven]
... and I think we have another
15:11:53 [ebruchez_]
https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/xpath/extension-functions/extension-xml#xxf-sort
15:12:05 [Steven]
... it is different
15:12:29 [Steven]
... the sort keys used to be a string, and we made it a path...
15:12:40 [Steven]
... but that may not be correct from xpath semantics
15:13:00 [Steven]
... the key should really be a function
15:13:21 [Steven]
... but we can't support that
15:13:38 [ebruchez_]
https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#func-sort
15:13:43 [Steven]
... xpath 3 has sort function
15:13:52 [Steven]
... and the key is a function
15:14:20 [Steven]
Alain: There is no sort function. Easy to add
15:14:47 [Steven]
Erik: It is clearly very useful
15:15:43 [Steven]
Steven: THanks. I'll study the options.
