Errata E02 in http://www.w3.org/2002/07/xml-exc-c14n-errata currently notes that the DTD and XML schema type for the PrefixList attribute is incorrect. It notes a *possible* correction, but doesn't appear to take a firm position as to the "official" correction to apply, nor is a corrected schema provided. I propose updating E02 to the following: ---- In section 4 Use in XML Security, the data type of the PrefixList attribute value is specified as NMTOKENS in both the DTD and Schema. This does not permit "non-zero-length sequences," or the occurrence of the '#default' token in the attribute value because of the "#" character. The type of this attribute value should be CDATA in the DTD and a "list of xsd:string" in the XML Schema. ---- In parallel, an updated schema should be produced. There seems no point in not doing so, since the current schema simply won't work for anybody that validates if they run into XML that violates the original schema, despite the XML being valid according to the spec. -- Scott
