RE: nil feature in compression mode

Dear Youenn,
 
Thank you for you careful review and feedback of the EXI specification. You
are correct that the phrase "has a schema-valid value" used in section 9.2.1
is inconsistent with other parts of the specification. In other cases, we
intentionally avoided the term "schema-valid" so as not to give the false
impression schema-validation is needed for EXI processing. We have reworded
section 9.2.1 to more precisely specify the criteria that determines which
xsi:nil values occur in the structure stream.
 
    Thank you again,
 
    John

Dear all,

 

This is feedback we have related to the EXI specification.

 

The wording of @xsi:nil in section 9.2.1 seems slightly out of sync.

The inclusion within or without the structure channel of the @xsi:nil value
happens if @xsi:nil "has a schema-valid value".

I would reword it so that we phrase in terms of the @xsi:nil values being
encoded using the  Boolean representation. 

This does not change the behavior and I find it clearer this way.

 

Regards,

                Youenn
