Re: [Serialization] MS-SER-LC1-002 (qt-2004Feb1197-01)

Michael,

     In [1], you submitted the following comment on the Last Call Working 
Draft of XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Serialization:

<<
Section 2 
Editorial/Technical 

Please rewrite "Replace any string in the sequence with a text node
whose string value is equal to the string." as "Replace any string with
length greater than 0 in the sequence with a text node whose string
value is equal to the string. Remove any zero-length string from the
sequence."
>>

     Thank you for this comment.  The XSL and XML Query Working Groups 
discussed your comment, and noted that the following text was added to 
Section 7.7.1 of the July 23 draft the Data Model specification [2]:

<<
When a Document or Element Node is constructed, Text Nodes that would be 
adjacent are combined into a single Text Node. If the resulting Text Node 
is empty, it is never placed among the children of its parent, it is 
simply discarded.
>>

     The working groups decided that this text in Data Model makes the 
change that you recommended no longer necessary.

     As you were present when this decision was made, I will assume the 
response is acceptable to you.

Thanks,

Henry [On behalf of the XSL and XML Query Working Groups]
