Well-formed XML documents have an infoset even if they are invalid. But some kinds of invalidity make it hard to assign reasonable values to certain properties. For example, a duplicate ID makes it impossible to assign a meaningful value to an the [references] property of an IDREF attribute referring to that ID. This particular case is handled in the spec - the [references] property has no value - but there are others that aren't, such as the value of the [notations] property when there are multiple declarations of the same notation name. We should find all such cases and resolve them, or perhaps state a general rule. -- RichardReceived on Thursday, 21 August 2003 17:07:02 GMT
