Hi

you clarify why serializers are not required to report it?

Thank-you for your response.

The XSL and XML Query Working Groups discussed the response [1] and we 
confirmed that the reason behind the original decision to make this error 
recoverable was to be consistent because there was another recoverable 
error just above the quoted text.  However, the resolution for 
qt-2004Feb0362-17 has removed that recovery option.   This error is now an 
unrecoverable serialization error.  The editorial comment [2] is thus not 
applicable.

I would appreciate if you could check the next public draft of the 
specification when it becomes available, and verify that I've correctly 
applied all the changes, and that they resolve this issue to your 
satisfaction.

Thanks

Joanne

This seems to be the only optional serialization error, could
you clarify why serializers are not required to report it?
