https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14921 --- Comment #6 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> 2011-12-12 09:35:06 UTC --- You're interpreting the sentence "One of these sets of rules must be applied consistently by all aspects of the implementation." much more restrictively than I am. Does it mean that the implementation can't have a switch to say whether XML 1.0 rules or 2.0 rules are used? I don't think so. Does it mean it can't have two switches, one for input and one for output (so queries can translate 1.0 input to 1.1 output? Again, I don't think so. (In fact such an implementation is exceeding the requirement: if you apply both sets of rules consistently, then by definition you apply one of them consistently). Similarly, it's still "consistent" to have one rule for queries and another for source documents. If we really intend that all inputs, outputs, and query modules must conform to the same set of rules, and that implementations are not allowed to provide user options to vary this, then we are imposing a quite unnecessary obstacle in the way of interoperability. And in any case, the 3.0 serialization specification explicitly makes the choice for output documents on a per-document basis. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
