> Can you provide more detail on both the lack of power and the > increased cost? I would like to use multi-part keys. For example, the attribute "family" and the attribute "given" collectively identify a person. The xml:idAttr attribute sketched in the Draft TAG finding document cannot represent multi-part keys. Furthermore, it cannot use integers as keys; that is, "1" and "01" are assumed to be different. I thus think that xml:idAtt is a short-term solution. Although the xml:idAttr attribute is not a significant burden, I do not want to have another mechanism that may eventually tie our hands when we develop a long-term solution. Our hands are already tied by key/keyref/unique of WXS and ID/IDEREF/IDREFS of DTDs. Cheers, -- MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given) <EB2M-MRT@asahi-net.or.jp>
