#DisruptJ20 is too late for comments to the W3C but you can break the boredom of indeterminate waiting to protest excitedly for TV cameras and/or to be arrested.
How?
Play the XQuery/XPath 3.1 Twitter Game!
Definitions litter the drafts and appear as:
[Definition: A sequence is an ordered collection of zero or more items.]
You Tweet:
An ordered collection of zero or more items? #xquery
Correct response:
A sequence.
Some definitions are too long to be tweeted in full:
An expanded-QName is a value in the value space of the xs:QName datatype as defined in the XDM data model (see [XQuery and XPath Data Model (XDM) 3.1]): that is, a triple containing namespace prefix (optional), namespace URI (optional), and local name. (xpath-functions)
Suggest you tweet:
A triple containing namespace prefix (optional), namespace URI (optional), and local name.
or
A value in the value space of the xs:QName datatype as defined in the XDM data model (see [XQuery and XPath Data Model (XDM) 3.1].
In both cases, the correct response:
An expanded-QName.
Use a $10 burner phone and it unlocked at protests. If your phone is searched, imagine the attempts to break the “code.”
You could agree on definitions/responses as instructions for direct action. But I digress.
