Hi Issue-86 started with a comment from Richard on normative key word in notes, and Felix had an action, also passed to me to check for normative text in notes: https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/actions/408 Felix already checked there was no rfc2119 annotated text in the notes, which there wasn't. However should we also check for and address unadorned usage of these keyword and change the text correspondingly for removal of doubt? I found the following occurrences of 'must' in notes. Should we change these instances to 'ought to'? There are also many instances of the use of 'should' and 'recommend' in notes, but i suspect this isn't likely to cause an issue in the same way as 'musts': In section 6.2; Global Rules http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#html5-global-rules * "Note:* HTML5 parsing algorithm automatically puts all HTML elements into XHTML namespace (|http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml|). Selectors used in global rules _must_ take this into account." *In section 8.2.2 "Note:* It is not possible to override theTranslate <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#trans-datacat>data category settings of attributes using local markup. This limitation is consistent with the advised practice of not using translatable attributes. If attributes need to be translatable (e.g., an HTML|alt|attribute), then this _must_ be declared globally." In section 8.14.2 Implementation *"Note:* The source node and the target node may be of different types, but the target node _must_ be able to contain the same content of the source node (e.g. an attribute node cannot be the target node of a source node that is an element with children)." ----- end of note topic While doing this I also found the following occurances of unadorned rfc2119 keywords (underlined below) that seemed to be used in a normative way in normative sections. Editorially, should these be made rfc2119 annotated 'MUST' etc? Also, section 6 (using ITS markup in HTML) and 7 (Using ITS Markup in XHTML) are marked as neither normative or informative (I presume it is the former). 3.1 Notation It is _recommended_ that XML implementations of this specification use this prefix, unless there is existing dedicated markup in use for a given data category. 5.3.2.1 Absolute selector The absolute selectorMUST <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#rfc-keywords>be an XPath expression which starts with "|/|". That is, it _must_ be anAbsoluteLocationPath <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#NT-AbsoluteLocationPath>or union ofAbsoluteLocationPath <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#NT-AbsoluteLocationPath>s as described inXPath 1.0 <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#xpath>. 5.3.5 Variables in selectors The|param|element has a _required _name attribute. 5.4 Link to External Rules One way to associate a document with a set of external ITS rules is to use the optional XLink[XLink 1.1] <http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/drafts/its20/its20.html#xlink1>|href|attribute in the|rules|element. The referenced document _must_ be a valid XML document containing at most one|rules|element. 5.8 ITS Tools Annotation has three unadorned '_shoulds_' 8.3.1 Definition Two types of informative notes are needed: * An alert contains information that the translator _must_ read before translating a piece of text. 8.17.1 Definition '_recommended_' in notes colum for profile refernece attribute cheers, Dave
