BP24 is about telling people to try to avoid putting XML/HTML markup as "text" in their content. The issue is that in the absence of a way to know about it, such content is treated as text and making the distinction between real text and codes is lost. Even if such content is identified most tools will not be able to do special parsing for it. The point is if you are going to store XML/HTML data in an XML document, you might as well use the namespace mechanism. Using "text" for this also pushes people to use CDATA with all the implications. I hope this helps. -ys -----Original Message----- From: public-i18n-its-request@w3.org [mailto:public-i18n-its-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Richard Ishida Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2007 5:42 AM To: public-i18n-its@w3.org Subject: BP 24: what's all that about? I give up. I guess I could pour over this a little more, but I'm not clear from a couple of looks at this BP what the issue really is. It doesn't seem to be well described by "Avoid storing markup in escaped form in your documents." Can someone please elucidate for me?
