Standards Update for QT4

Balisage 2024 included a short-subject “Open Microphone” session, during which conference attendees were invited give 2-10 minute presentations on any topic relevant to the conference, including specification updates, new tool announcements, and demonstrations. The XQuery and XSLT Extensions Community Group, known informally as “QT4CG”, has been continuing development of version 4.0 of XPath, XQuery, XSLT, and related specifications. This presentation offered a very brief overview of what has changed recently.
