As it stands now, the framework generates the schema for the tests from the source of the specifications themselves. However, these are the published specs, not drafts. Technically it would be possible to generate the level 3 schema languages too, if the xml sources for the specs are publically available, but as the specs change, so would the tests. On the other hand, there's an intention to tie the test production closer to specification authoring, so maybe it's not a bad idea. Let's have a discussion here to hear people's views, and I'll take it up with the DOM WG as well. /Dimitris On Wednesday, March 20, 2002, at 03:16 , Jeroen van Rotterdam wrote: > Ok, > > So what's the planning for extending the framework to DOM Level 3 ? > I won't be able to convert tests before the stylesheets are available. > > Jeroen > > > ===== > X-Hive Corporation > Jeroen van Rotterdam, CEO > e-mail: jeroen@x-hive.com > phone: +31 10 7108600 > http://www.x-hive.com > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Dimitris Dimitriadis [mailto:dimitris@ontologicon.com] >> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 3:11 PM >> To: Jeroen van Rotterdam >> Cc: www-dom-ts@w3.org >> Subject: Re: Writing DOM Level 3 Load & Save tests >> >> >> That should be level2 Core. >> >> /Dimitris >> >> On Wednesday, March 20, 2002, at 03:08 , Jeroen van Rotterdam wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> If DOM L2 is generated, how do you write a test for >> NodeFilters in DOM >>> L2 Traversal.
