Re: Comments on xml:id CR

/ Dieter Köhler <d.k@philo.de> was heard to say:
| I have three tiny suggestions for modifying the xml:id spec:
|
| 1. Change the third bullet sentence in sec. 1 from
|
| "each element has at most a single unique identifier"
|
| to
|
| "each element has at most one single unique identifier"

Fixed.

| for clearity.  Note that the term "one single" is already used in the second
| last paragraph of sec. 4.
|
| 2. Aproximately in the middle of sec 4 the expressions "does not satisfy the
| constraints" and "does not satisfy the enumerated constraints" appear.  The
| adjective "enumerated" is somewhat confusing, because it refers in both cases to
| the same set of constraints.  The term may also lead to confusion due to its
| terminological closeness to the "enumerated type constraints" of the XML spec.
| sec. 3.3.1.

Fixed. (I removed the word "enumerated" in the second case.)

| 3. The next paragraph on updating the "reference" infoset property should IMHO
| be amented by a note which warns the reader that -- according to the infoset
| spec -- for xml:id attributes the "references" property has no value when the
| attribute is syntactically incorrect or when it is not unique in the document.

Could you be persuaded that the phrase "approprate referential
properties" covers that case? I'm concerned that the additional note
might raise more questions than it answers.

Please let us know if you're satisified with these resolutions?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
