Hi,I noticed since version 1.1.30 of libxslt, the attributes on the literal element are not merged correctly with the attributes specified on the element itself. The language in the spec [1] ("7.1.4 Named Attribute Sets") is as follows:
> Thus, for a literal result element, attributes from attribute sets named in an xsl:use-attribute-sets attribute will be added first, in the order listed in the attribute; next, attributes specified on the literal result element will be added; finally, any attributes specified by xsl:attribute elements will be added. Since adding an attribute to an element replaces any existing attribute of that element with the same name, this means that attributes specified in attribute sets can be overridden by attributes specified on the literal result element itself.
Below is a small test case that has two attribute sets ("as1", "as2"; used in that order) + attributes specified on the element itself ("element") and attributes specified via <xsl:attribute/> in the content of the literal element. Per spec, the output of the test case should be:
<bar a1="attr" a2="element" a3="as2" a4="as1"/> With 1.1.30 and newer, the output is: <bar a1="attr" a2="as2" a3="as2" a4="as1"/> Before 1.1.30, the output was: <bar a1="attr" a2="element" a3="as1" a4="as1"/>The commit [2] that changed this behavior apparently fixed the order of attributes merged from multiple attribute sets (see a3/a4 attributes above) but in doing so, broke the handling of the attributes from the literal element (see a2 attribute above).
This, for example, breaks the docbook stylesheet customizations for the titlepage (which auto-generate an XSLT stylesheet using both an attribute sets and attributes on a literal element).
The test case: ---- a.xsl ---- <?xml version="1.0"?><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> <xsl:attribute-set name="as1"> <xsl:attribute name="a1">as1</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="a2">as1</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="a3">as1</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="a4">as1</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <xsl:attribute-set name="as2"> <xsl:attribute name="a1">as2</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="a2">as2</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="a3">as2</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> <xsl:template match="foo"> <bar xsl:use-attribute-sets="as1 as2" a1="element" a2="element"> <xsl:attribute name="a1">attr</xsl:attribute> </bar> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ---- a.xml ---- <?xml version="1.0"?> <foo/> [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116[2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxslt/commit/05f70130433478c1075ce8b6fdc4c4dadf51d33e
