The SISR semantic interpretation specification [1] provides a mapping from
ECMAScript objects to XML [2], for example, for representing semantic
interpretation results in EMMA [3]. Sometimes there are typed variables in
the SISR output. We'd like to find out what people typically do to preserve
variable typing when mapping to XML. The MMIWG was thinking that we would
just add a "type" attribute to the appropriate XML tag(s), but we were
wondering if there's an existing best practice.
