RE: [ACTION-232] List of data categories

Hi all,

Just making sure I understand:

The table produced is to be put somewhere in the specification, so the reader can have an overall look at all data categories and their attributes. OK.

But are we also planning to rename all the XML camel-cased attributes in the specification with the “neutral” spelling I see in the table?

For example, we would replace: “Although the domainMapping attribute it is optional, its usage is recommended." by "Although the Domain Mapping attribute it is optional, its usage is recommended." ?

(BTW: there is a typo there "it " should be removed)

If that is the plan, I would caution against it.

Using a "neutral" notation is (IMO) just making thing difficult for everybody: the HTML5 users still have to convert it to their HTML5 notation, but now the XML users have also to convert it.

I don't think we're biased toward XML: that notation is just used more than the HTML5 one, and it's used by HTML5 users as well (global rules). Using the XML notation is just being practical.

I thought we resolved that here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Oct/0135.html

so maybe I'm mis-understanding and the neutral notation is just for the table.
