RE: Assertion Summary Texts in Part 1

Thank you for the comment.  The Working Group this issue as a CR150 [1].

 

While we agreed that this summary could be improved, the WG felt it served
its primary purpose in providing a bit of text describing the assertion and
a link back to the assertion in context.  Since we're days away from
completing the spec a comprehensive review and proposals for improving each
assertion would be time-consuming, and we didn't have members willing to
volunteer to do this work.  We therefore closed this issue with no action.

 

Unless you let us know otherwise within 2 weeks, we will assume you agree
with the resolution of this issue.

Subject: Assertion Summary Texts in Part 1

 

Hi Gurus,

 

One suggestion.Part 1 - Appendix E [Assertion Summary] is a great view of
all assertions about component models and documents.

I would appreciate if the Summary text be a complete English sentence that
contains the complete text about the assertion.

 

For instance, see the following assertion.

 

-----------------------------------------------

Assertion Id                 Summary

-----------------------------------------------

Description-1201005     Zero or more element information items amongst its
[children], in order as follows: 

 

If the User were reading this in soft copy, he/she could click on the
Assertion Id hyperlink to navigate to the section that states the assertion.
But if the User were reading the specification on a hard print, it would not
be possible for he/she to get a clear understanding on what it means.  Note
that there are other assertions in this section which depict similar
behaviour. 

 

Hope that helps.

rgds,

Ram
