[XBL] Conformance

Hi.

This is a last call comment on the XBL 2 Editor’s Draft (dated 27
October 2006).

1.2 Conformance
===============
  
  (The algorithms in this specification are generally written with more
  concern over clarity than over efficiency.)

s/over/for/g


  The language in this specification assumes that the user agent expands
  all entity references, and therefore does not include entity reference
  nodes in the DOM. If user agents do include entity reference nodes in
  the DOM, then user agents must handle them as if they were fully
  expanded when implementing this specification.

Language doesn’t include entity reference nodes in the DOM, user agents
do.  (Language also doesn’t make assumptions, the authors of the
specification do.)  By saying that UAs “must handle them as if they were
fully expanded”, does this mean that they need to actually expand them?
What if they cannot be expanded (the external DTD wasn’t fetched)?


Thanks,

Cameron
