RE: Comment on ITS 2.0 WD-its20-20121206 - Inline global rules in XHTML

Hi Yves.

 

For the use case of “CMS to TMS System” we use xhtml as interchange format and we do that (follow the actual version of the specification).

We use ITS XML syntax for the global rules and ITS HTML syntax for the local rules in the html parts.

 

Conceptually it can be a bit tricky, but it is possible to implement. The other way (<script>) forces to do a two-step parsing. I mean, also has its own complexity level.

 

Cheers.

Asunto: Comment on ITS 2.0 WD-its20-20121206 - Inline global rules in XHTML

 

I know the commenting period is closed, but I'll post this one anyway:

 

Looking at  <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#xhtml5-markup> http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-its20-20121206/#xhtml5-markup the text says:

 

"XHTML documents aimed at public consumption by Web browsers SHOULD use syntax for local attributes described in Section 6.1: Mapping of Local Data Categories to HTML and SHOULD NOT use inline global rules in order to adhere to DOM Consistency HTML Design Principle."

 

I don't understand why we have to use <its:rules> directly rather than inside <script> for XHTML since the stated goal of the "DOM Consistency" seems to be to have the same tree. If we use <its:rules>..</its:rules> in XHTML and <script><its:rules>...</its:rules></script> we presumably get different trees not identical ones. It seems the "SHOULD NOT" should be a "SHOULD" (and the example changed).

 

>From an implementation view point it would be also simpler since we say attributes should use the HTML names. having to do the HTML5 thing for part of the parsing and the XML thing for the other is making things difficult.

 

 

cheers,
