The latest draft requires applications to perform "markup conformance testing according to all the conformance constraints appearing in this specification". To clarify what this means you proposed to change that to a requirement to apply "XLink semantics only to those elments which satisfy the markup conformance criteria". This is equivalent to saying "XLink 1.1 processors MUST NOT apply XLink semantics to elements which do not satisfy the markup conformance criteria". That's most obviously prescribing what XLink processors MUST do with markup that does not conform to XLink. So I still don't understand what the Working Group proposes to mitigate the problems I pointed out. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
