; XML processing in Scheme
; SXPath -- SXML Query Language
;
; SXPath is a query language for SXML, an instance of XML Information
; set (Infoset) in the form of s-expressions. See SSAX.scm for the
; definition of SXML and more details. SXPath is also a translation into
; Scheme of an XML Path Language, XPath:
; http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath
; XPath and SXPath describe means of selecting a set of Infoset's items
; or their properties.
;
; To facilitate queries, XPath maps the XML Infoset into an explicit
; tree, and introduces important notions of a location path and a
; current, context node. A location path denotes a selection of a set of
; nodes relative to a context node. Any XPath tree has a distinguished,
; root node -- which serves as the context node for absolute location
; paths. Location path is recursively defined as a location step joined
; with a location path. A location step is a simple query of the
; database relative to a context node. A step may include expressions
; that further filter the selected set. Each node in the resulting set
; is used as a context node for the adjoining location path. The result
; of the step is a union of the sets returned by the latter location
; paths.
;
; The SXML representation of the XML Infoset (see SSAX.scm) is rather
; suitable for querying as it is. Bowing to the XPath specification,
; we will refer to SXML information items as 'Nodes':
; <Node> ::= <Element> | <attributes-coll> | <attrib>
; | "text string" | <PI>
; This production can also be described as
; <Node> ::= (name . <Nodeset>) | "text string"
; An (ordered) set of nodes is just a list of the constituent nodes:
; <Nodeset> ::= (<Node> ...)
; Nodesets, and Nodes other than text strings are both lists. A
; <Nodeset> however is either an empty list, or a list whose head is not
; a symbol. A symbol at the head of a node is either an XML name (in
; which case it's a tag of an XML element), or an administrative name
; such as '@'. This uniform list representation makes processing rather
; simple and elegant, while avoiding confusion. The multi-branch tree
; structure formed by the mutually-recursive datatypes <Node> and
; <Nodeset> lends itself well to processing by functional languages.
;
; A location path is in fact a composite query over an XPath tree or
; its branch. A singe step is a combination of a projection, selection
; or a transitive closure. Multiple steps are combined via join and
; union operations. This insight allows us to _elegantly_ implement
; XPath as a sequence of projection and filtering primitives --
; converters -- joined by _combinators_. Each converter takes a node
; and returns a nodeset which is the result of the corresponding query
; relative to that node. A converter can also be called on a set of
; nodes. In that case it returns a union of the corresponding queries over
; each node in the set. The union is easily implemented as a list
; append operation as all nodes in a SXML tree are considered
; distinct, by XPath conventions. We also preserve the order of the
; members in the union. Query combinators are high-order functions:
; they take converter(s) (which is a Node|Nodeset -> Nodeset function)
; and compose or otherwise combine them. We will be concerned with
; only relative location paths [XPath]: an absolute location path is a
; relative path applied to the root node.
;
; Similarly to XPath, SXPath defines full and abbreviated notations
; for location paths. In both cases, the abbreviated notation can be
; mechanically expanded into the full form by simple rewriting
; rules. In case of SXPath the corresponding rules are given as
; comments to a sxpath function, below. The regression test suite at
; the end of this file shows a representative sample of SXPaths in
; both notations, juxtaposed with the corresponding XPath
; expressions. Most of the samples are borrowed literally from the
; XPath specification, while the others are adjusted for our running
; example, tree1.

; Rename filter to node-filter or ns-filter

; Basic converters and applicators
; A converter is a function
; type Converter = Node|Nodeset -> Nodeset
; A converter can also play a role of a predicate: in that case, if a
; converter, applied to a node or a nodeset, yields a non-empty
; nodeset, the converter-predicate is deemed satisfied. Throughout
; this file a nil nodeset is equivalent to #f in denoting a failure.
; The following function implements a 'Node test' as defined in
; Sec. 2.3 of XPath document. A node test is one of the components of a
; location step. It is also a converter-predicate in SXPath.
;
; The function node-typeof? takes a type criterion and returns a function,
; which, when applied to a node, will tell if the node satisfies
; the test.
; node-typeof? :: Crit -> Node -> Boolean
;
; The criterion 'crit' is a symbol, one of the following:
; id - tests if the Node has the right name (id)
; @ - tests if the Node is an <attributes-coll>

; *text* - tests if the Node is a text node
; *PI* - tests if the Node is a PI node

; _pattern_ of applying converters. Given below is a complete set of
; such patterns that together implement XPath location path
; specification. As it turns out, all these combinators can be built
; from a small number of basic blocks: regular functional composition,
; map-union and filter applicators, and the nodeset union.
