hallo all, hallo Marcos, We have a small question regarding what we interpret may be an inconsistency in the behaviours for parsing a config file as commented in the W3C widget packaging spec [1] According to the spec (latest and also older versions), the occurrences of some elements (eg: author or content) have to be zero or one However, on the algorithm to process a configuration document quoted below, it states: "If this is not the first author element encountered, then the user agent must ignore this element and any child nodes" It just says ignore and doesn't say to consider it as error Isn't this a contradiction in the parsing of the configuration document? We understand that it should be one of these 2 cases: a) we allow for more than one instance of author and content and let the first one take precedence (and therefore the occurrences should be "zero or more") b) we allow only one instance of author and content elements (and therefore the parsing algorithm has got to stop with error on further occurrences) Would appreciate some clarification about this, as we want to clarify what to do for our compliance tests Thanks a lot in advance!
