Implementation of fn:parse and fn:serialize planned?

[noone]

Are there plans to implement functions to parse and serialize XML according to the W3C standard? That would be great!

Best regards

Hi,
 we have a parse and also a serialize implemented but they are not 100 % according to the spec.
We are planning to make the necessary changes but, in the meantime here are some pointers to what we have at the moment:

fn:parse will be shipped with the upcoming Zorba 1.4 release.

Mike, can we close this feature request?

Gabriel, can you please verify and close this bug if this is fixed?

The fn:parse-xml seems to be implemented according to the spec.

I have attached a working example for fn:serialize.
The only difference between the spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/#func-serialize

and the implementation in Zorba is the way the parameters are set:

In the spec they are suppose to be set with:
<output:serialization-parameters>
  <output:omit-xml-declaration>yes</output:omit-xml-declaration>
</output:serialization-parameters>

While in Zorba they are set like this:
<output:serialization-parameters>
  <output:omit-xml-declaration value="yes" />
</output:serialization-parameters>

If Zorba is correct than it means the W3C spec is wrong and we should raise a bug against the spec, right?
