[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#683353: libxslt1.1:amd64: does not signal an error on xsl:key

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libxslt1.1
Version: 1.1.26-13
Severity: normal

Consider the following stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:param name="var"/>
<xsl:key name="key" match="*[@id != $var]" use="''"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The XSLT 1.0 specifications say in 12.2:

  It is an error for the value of either the use attribute or the
  match attribute to contain a VariableReference.

and in 17:

  A conforming XSLT processor must signal any errors except for
  those that this document specifically allows an XSLT processor
  not to signal.

So, since the match attribute contains $var, one would expect an
error to be signaled. But:

xvii:~> xsltproc tst.xsl tst.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
